TDCI high rpm in 6th gear

Hey yogi

The RPM your getting is pretty typical for that sort of speed, and I understand why you question it, as I expected lower RPM myself when I started to drive my car, and after 55,000kms its no different now. I was glad to hear your economy was better though, as I normally get between 5.1-5.3l/100km and thats driving from Wollongong to Western Sydney (it bolts up Mount Ousley in 6th...glorious).

I wouldn't worry too much about cruise though. It took a while but you become tuned to your car after a while, and can tell the difference in driving speed and tend to be able to hang steady, that it makes no difference if your using cruise or not.

Enjoy the drive... I love it
