Hey Mike,
Good to see your sticking around! Next time I'm cruising the freeway I'll check what I'm turning at 70mph...my guess is about 1,800 - 2,200 rpm...but I will have to check for accuracy of course.
As for the gearing...someone was saying that the H2 comes stock set-up to tow and pull heavy items. They felt the gearing was already too low and that a higher gearing might support better gas mileage. If anything, he wanted to go higher gearing, not lower.
As for me, I think it's all good just the way it is, plus I'm lazy and like to leave my faith in the design engineers who built it. I'm sure they tried variations before landing on those gear ratios.
