[QUOTE="Moseley, post: 606719, member: 20098"] There’s a few factors that affect cruising speed. Most people would suggest engine revs are a better way to determine cruising speed, and I’ve been told that 3500rpm is a good figure to top out at for prolonged periods. Now this figure is going to mean different road speeds for different vans; the gearbox fitted and the wheels / tyres will change the ratio of engine revs to speed. Also, worth bearing in mind is that speedo speed and gps speed can vary somewhat, again, commonly down to the size of wheel / tyre fitted to the front and rear wheels - some people, like ourselves, opting for a larger diameter rear tyre to the front. Pick a comfortable engine speed that keeps your engine from getting hot! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk [/QUOTE]
