mods. feel free to merge where this should belong. anyways, i am planning on getting a Crosswind next year. all my driving experience come from 1.6L - 2.0L petrol engines all 5 speed MT... hence, my baseline RPM is 2.8k~3k RPM at cruising speed regardless of vehicle load.

i posted same question in Isuzu cars talk but i got same 2.8k~3k RPM answer from a 2012 Sportivo owner,, and i am not fully convinced because i believe, diesel engines have higher compression ratio hence lower RPM compared to petrol engines running at same CRUISING SPEED
