Not with me on board! :-)
With this set-up, 5th is a cruiser gear only; for hard charging I estimate
that I'd never get above 4th (max MPH for this car might be in 4th anyway).
According to the above, 60mph would arrive @ 2000 rpm, which is just right
for lo-stress trolling & no overheating worries (well, usually).
