Nope. Even at 90 on the interstate indicated this past sunday I was still sitting middle of the meter, neither low nor high, thinking btw 7 and 9.

Im just not that aggressive on the street anymore so I dont rev it up high, and I have plenty of power to get me where I wanna go in a hurry and still keep my revs comfortable and low. I dont like screaming engines, even tho I know its what they are sposed to do, I baby my stuff unless Im feeling froggy.
