your RPM's at 80MPH? (auto tranny)
so I noticed that at 80MPH, by '99 A6 2.8L is at 3000 RPM with the car in 5th gear. this seemed a little hight to me,especially since its a 5 speed automatic.I drove my other cars, (4 speed automatics)and they were much lower, between 2,000 and 2,500 RPM's
Is everyone else at this RPM's? is there a reason that these cars run at a higher rate?
Just making sure all is good.
Thanks for you input!!!!

RE: your RPM's at 80MPH? (auto tranny)
It stays around 3k RPM's when my car shifts into 5th on the freeway and gives me decent acceleration, which I think is the point. Then If I so choose, I can punch it and down shift into 4rd for a little show and go run on the I-10!
