Got my allroad back, after the 4.2 loaner I reluctantly gave back.

Some observations on the gearing differences:

at 40 mph in 3rd:
4.2 turned 3000
2.7 turns 3200

At 60 in 4th:
4.2 turned 3000
2.7 tursn 3400

at 70 in 5th:
4.2 turned 2600
2.7 turns 3000

at 80 in 5th:
4.2 turned 3000
2.7 turns 3400

Wish I had that gearing for my interstate drives
