OK, this sounds like a dumb question but, at what rpm's is a 2.0 engine happiest just cruising along?

Over 3000rpm the engine is cooling proper and you are not "lugging" the engine.
"Lugging" a VW engine is very bad for it. |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) Something close to 3000 rpm's is best for running around. That seems to be a good area for cooling. I've heard of folks putting some pretty tall gears in air cooled cars running under 2000 rpm's on the freeway overheating the engines on long trips. |
