I have to agree with you Peter. 65 is a much more comfortable drive.
At 4200 RPM, 75 MPH or so is a bit noisy and somewhat scarey. You have
to be on your toes every second. at 65MPH, 3600 RPM or so, it is much
quieter, the scenery is more enjoyable, you can take your eyes off the
road for a second or two to enjoy it and take it all in, and the oil
stays in the crankcase longer! Not to mention the lower fuel
consumption. At 75 MPH, the brick can be tracked on weather radar
pushing warm fronts along the interstate!<br>

<pre wrap="">Add states: "Top VW techs say either lifter or wrist pin. it has 130 comp.
on each cylinder and it will do 80 all day long so I dont worry about it."
After reading the vanagon thread on the worst design flaws of the German
engineers perhaps the one big one overlooked was that they failed to
understand the American driver........
Anyone out there run a solid 2.1 wbx at 80 all day long? Let along one with
potential problems.
or maybe it's just me, but my solid 2.1 likes to run about 65 "all day long"
