3000 rpm is about 70 mph in my 92 900S 5-speed. As Larry said, with a 5-speed if speed and rpm don't change proportionately together (in the same gear) your clutch is slipping. Wait, do you have another car? With a 6-cylinder engine? Our Taurus has a V-6 and a tachometer. I have noticed that on the highway the rpms are about 2000, rather than 3000 with the Saab. I thought a bit and it makes sense -- same number of explosions per mile (3x4=2x6, no, wait, 4-stroke engines, so 3x2=2x3). Hope I've got that right, I don't drive the Taurus much.
