RPMs at 70 mph in an '08?
Hi - in my excitement at test driving an '08 RL yesterday and paying attention to all sorts of other things, I forgot to check the RPMs at freeway speed. Could somebody please let me know the engine speed at 65 or 70 mph, please?
Thanks and take care - Kevin

Off hand, I think mine is 2k-2.1k at 70. About 1.7k at 60 and 2.2-2.3k at 80. Cruising at 55 with RPMs around 1.5k = great mpgs, but who can go that slow on a highway?

Thanks for that info - perfect. Sounds as if I can look forward to even more relaxed cruising than at present in my Saab (an indicated 31 - 32 mph per 1,000 rpm in top).
Take care - Kevin
