Approx RPM at 55mph

Post by jamesandtheopenroad »

Can't find it in the wiki.

Haven't got a tacho I can see whilst driving so I wondered if any of you good people know the approximate RPM of a DG at 55mph please?

Got to be very close at 3,000rpm (55 @ 3K) real speed as in sat nav.
My 2.1 5sp shows about 3300rpm at 60mph (sat nav)
