Low Gas Mileage - My 2008 Tribute is at 3000 rpm+ when on the highway (100km/h or 60mph)

Asked by GuruYK2JF Mar 20, 2018 at 02:16 PM about the 2008 Mazda Tribute GS

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

Hey Guys just double checking what everyone else's Tribute sits at when at
high way speeds. The transmission shifts late/hard into second and I'm not sure
its shifting into 4th since the tachometer sits at 3000rpms+ highway speed up to
like 3700 @ 130km/h
