That's not really that high revving, unless you're used to some old american
pushrods. My 1.8T is at 3000 rpm @ 65 mph in last gear (5th).

Yes, the gearing is different:

If my math is correct, you should be at around 90 mph at 3000 rpm with
automatic in last gear (6th).

.... and the 4.2L V8 in the new RS4 is rev-limited at 8250rpm!

I hate my 1.8TQ on the motorway, at 60-65mph its at 3000 rpm which is far
too high, I just wish I got the 6 speed version.
Should be geared better imo, my 2.6 was only slightly better, I have driven
a 1.3 fiesta that cruised at a lower rpm at 65.
