Mine an AEF 1.9d with a ASS box fitted (1,6td box) and 225\60\16 tyres on the back

This gives me 3482 rpm @70 mph

AAP on standard tyres would be 3381rpm @ 70mph

Mines fine most of the time but does slow down on long uphill sections of the motorway.Not really a big problem as I just change down.It will happly sit at 70 all day and I get around 32mpg at this speed.
I normally cruse at 65 and get 35mpg at this speed. Thats with a hightop camper loaded up/wife,kids, dog, surf gear etc
