Your RPMs to speed seem to be a bit off. Using stock gearing and adjusting
for the big tires the engine should be turning around 3356 rpm at 65 mph.
Stock tires would be around 3632 rpm at 65 mph.

Sorry but the tabs got messed up, so the columns are not clean.  See the raw
data at http://jones.colorado.edu/VW/ScanGaugeTest.txt
for better alignment.
