    Yes, it is different for an automatic...

    Get bigger tires... I run 195/65r15 and am going to try a little taller next. I am looking for lower rpm on the highway too.

    kool how bout having the car low?
    does that effect rpms?
    the reason i ask its cuz i went from awd auto to 2wd auto conversion

    my odometer doesnt work

    feel like its stuck on a 3rd gear since the conversion

    rtwd automatic.
    195/55-15
    3000rpm @ 70 mph.
    i,ve noticed i get better gas mileage when under 3500rpm.
    i changed the intake(short ram) and added a header. i was @ 3300rpm at 70mph.
    free flowing air makes it more efficient(normal driving). i haven't changed the muffler yet, can't decide.

    My 2WD 5-spd seems to hit a sweet spot at around 3300rpm -- that's about 72mph with everything stock.

    I may need to source some new tires because im a little over 4k rpm at 80 with the stock 13 inchers.

    Wow. Driving a wagon when I get one will take some getting used to. My S2K is at 4000 at like 73 with stock gears and tire size. At 80 I'm at like 4600 and I'm in 6th gear.
  • chorne1787chorne1787 Band Wagon
    yeah s2k def has different gearing will take getting used to im coming from an s2k with a 18 inch rear with 40 series tire, 90 miata with 195/50/15,and a mazdaspeed3 with 245/40/18s all my gears are very sporty even 6th compared to this

    Hi,
    I plannned also this I mean the 195/65r15 size.In case of the lower rpms and also height.
    Could you show me a picture of the car with this tires?Are they suitable for my stock EE4 without any conversion?

    I have an '87 RT4WD manual and i'm wondering what the rpms for the best gas mileage would be. Thanks
