I noticed mine runs right at 3000 rpms right around 70 (which is the speed I usually go on Interstate around here). I just thought that was normal for my CVT.A good review, but once again, the reviewer didn't take the time to learn how to use the CVT properly. Note his comment about 3000 rpm at highway speed. Don't know how he drives, but mine runs about 2100 rpm at 60 mph.
