Maybe it's the trans, but my "cruising speed" is about 75. It's at about  
3400 then...but this is in my Rabbit... the roc broke, and before that it 
would shake approaching 70 or so, anyway. Damn, that thing is slow. How can 
anyone stand a 1.6? Man, that motor in my roc is worthless. =( 

rant over....
