    syempre it varies depende kung kailan nagshishift

    primera ano rpm nag shift? segunda ano rpm? and so on

    kung fifth gear ka na tapos 80 lang takbo mo parang maaga ka nagshishift

    syempre

    kung nagrev ka till redline sa bawat gear syempre pag dating mo ng fifth gear mas mabilis speed mo compared to shifting early in each gear

    I think that the OP is asking for input from other owners using the same engine with regards to what RPM reading their car is showing while cruising at 80kph in 5th gear.

    It has nothing to do with shift points.

    What would have an effect on the results would be if the clutch is slipping or if the tachometer and/or speedometer are not accurate.

    For a car with this engine, I'd say this is relatively normal. The 2E only has 72bhp, so it will need more revs/effort to reach 80km/h. Same with our Revo diesel (86bhp) which, if I remember correctly, spins at 3000rpm at 80km/h. Gear ratios are also a factor here. A lower final gear ratio will likely result in a higher top speed at lower rpm.

    If he wants lower rpms at high speed, easiest way is to increase engine power. More power means less effort to reach higher speeds. Bigger mags may also help, though at the expense of fuel efficiency.

    agree din ako na masyadong maaga mag shift kaya mababa speed.
    ganito ang driving style ko pag nasa economy mode

    1st gear rev to redline

    2nd gear rev to redline

    by 3rd gear you'll be doing 100

    by 4th gear you'll be over 120

    if you're doing 80 at 5th gear that means you didnt rev high enough from 1st to 4th

    what's there not to understand?

    You understood wrong.

    He's NOT asking WHY he's only doing 80kph at 2.7k RPM.

    He's asking the other 2E owners WHAT their RPM is when they're CRUISING at 80kph in 5th gear.

    It's more of a gearing ratio question and not about maximum speed.
