6MT RPM at 60 MPH in 6th Gear
In my current 03 TLS-Navi, I seem to hover around 1500RPM at 60MPH in 5th gear, with the change in gearing for the manual, does anyone have a guess as to engine speed at 60MPH in 6th?

Probably 2000 rpm due to a different final drive ratio and less aggressive overdrive gear.

Based on the Info given: 5 speed at 60 MPH in 5th gear is 1500 RPM
Doing calculations the 6 speed at 60 mph in 6th gear is around 1860 RPM
Math: Take 1500RPM/ (Final Drive ratio*5th gear ratio) = Cranks shaft rotation
Crankshaft rotation * (New Final Drvie Ratio*6th gear ratio) = New RPM at 60MPH
Doing calculations the 6 speed at 60 mph in 6th gear is around 1860 RPM
Math: Take 1500RPM/ (Final Drive ratio*5th gear ratio) = Cranks shaft rotation
Crankshaft rotation * (New Final Drvie Ratio*6th gear ratio) = New RPM at 60MPH

Thanks AcuraTLFan.
I was hoping for five performance gears and for a bigh drop off in 6th to enjoy the great mileage I get in my 03 TLS-Navi.
Hopefully, I'll be able to squeak out 30MPG/Hwy.
