2500 +/- rpm @ 60 mph
3000 +/- rpm @ 70 mph

My other car, 3.2 TL, revs @ 1700 rpm +/- @ 60 mph, but it's not as fun to drive as the IS.

I'm just sayin, but it's as simple as making a downshift to get into sporty RPMs.... I wish more companies would put a decent final gear in these cars. My Supra turbo with a getrag V160 had 3.23 rear end, and at 60 was 2050rpms and at 100mph was 3600rpm. 80 was 3000rpm. I remember like it was yesterday

from 60 to 70 mph its about 2500 to 3000.... e shift or not thats just d=drivre and go.. and yea 19-24 mpg isnt that great, the is350 is better than that from what ive heard.
