I can do the math. Your engine is turning about 3700 rpm at a true road speed of 70 mph. DK tranny with .85 4th gear, 4.57 r&p, stock size tires 820 revs per mile (DK numbers from Bentley and tire rev/mile from TireRack specs for Agilis) Whether it is your speedo, tach, or both, your stated 3300 at 70 is way off from reality.
