Default Cruising RPM at 65?

Just curious if my car is operating correctly or not. When I cruise at 65mph the engine is sitting at 2400rpm. It's a 2.7t and it seems rather high for a cruising rpm.

what transmission......?

Sounds right to me almost either way. That means 130 at 4800 rpm... maybe a bit low.

Somehow i think mine (5-sp tip S6) runs a bit higher - btu then, i also have a higher numeric final drive

My 2.7T is just about 3000 RPMs at 65 mph. That is on the Allroad with automatic transmission.

Must be your torque lock up is working. And you are on a flat road. 2400 is good.
