What is the average RPM for a 97 D1 when cruising down the highway say 75 MPH? Mine stays about 23-2500. Just curious of good or bad. |

I hate to look at my RPM gauge when it hits about 31-3200 at 85 mph. |

My Rover actually likes to run at higher rpms better than lower. I've had much better mileage since I started resisting the urge to just gear on up into 5th.
I know you have an auto-box, but my experience is that the engines kinda like the higher rpms. |

Depends on your tires as well.
I'm right at about 3000 with stock tires at 70mph.
About 2500 with 7.50x16's at the same speed.
D1 with 5speed |

It depends on what gear you are in. If your "engine kinda like the higher rpms", just put your land rover in first gear and go 75 mph. I can guarantee that you engine will be revving high. |

Why would you want to go 70mph? or even close to that? The discovery is made for off-roading not driving on the road. you also can't be worried about gas mileage since it is exclusively for off roading. |
