3100 RPM at 75mph

[Threeacess3]

My car rpm is at 2800 when i go 70 mph isn't it suppose to rev lower

[xet]

i think my v6 hits like 3k at 80 so yours prob isnt too far off

some transmissions have trouble finding the right speed/rpm for overdrive. try going a touch faster or slower to find the sweet spot where it shifts.

[bigbird]

that sounds about right

[nodrogkam]

do you have a v6 or an i4? i believe their ratios run a little differently in that the i4's will run higher because the engine lacks torque so they tuned it to use more HP.

the v6 will hit 3K rpm at approx 82 mph.

I have an I4. My 2003 Camry 2.4 liter hits 3000 RPM at 87 mph. Why does my 96 I4 rev higher at 75 mph ?

[roastlechon]

most likely because our camrys only have 4 gears on overdrive and 3 gears with no overdrive =/
i have the same problem when i drive

on main roads i make sure i drive as high as i can to hit the 2nd gear to slow down and use as less gas as possible at 1.4k rpm ish

Because it's not as powerful so it needs more power from the engine to drive at those speeds?

I agree. Even wind can make an effect on rpms at high speed.
My 99 I4 hits 3000 rpm somewhere between 75 and 80 mph. But 3100 at 70 seems to be a bit high, BUT there might be different transmission and engine on GEN 3 that makes this difference. All Hondas have rpms noticably higher, for example.

My 96 I4 will run 82mph @ 3000 rpm.

instead of bothering us with a continous bombardment of redundant questions, why don't you do the math that tells you the engine speed VS vehicle speed yourself.......................................... .................................................. .................................................. .....

Why dont you elighten us with your INFINITE wisdom and let us know the equation so we can figure it out ourselves?!

Thanks! You're an A-1 A-hole


You throw newb around like it's supposed to be an insult or something.....we are all 'newbs' at one point or another....oh but wait...I forgot you were born with your infinite knowledge. PLEASE.....excuseth our ignorance thou big-headed one!
