I've found that I generally gain 10mph for every 500rpm (3rd through to 6th at least) - all very approximate of course - but I don't generally drive studying my revs Vs speed!!!
I'm tempted to go out and find a long, straight and quiet road now!!
I used to look at this, I always remember my mk 3 XR3i used to sit at almosy 4000rpm at 70 in 5th, used to sound like it was reving it's boo locks off...lol
Mine read 75mph at 3000rpms in 6th 100mph at 4000rpms, didn't see what rev's it was doing at 120mph officer honest, All done on private roads i must stress....lol
