We have an '84 Westy, 4-speed, loaded to about 400 lbs. over GVWR as we're full-time in it, with an aero disaster in the form of the largest Yakima made on the roof.

Don't know RPM as I can't find anyone to wite the six gauges I've mounted!

Overall, we drive 55 for the first time in my life, and we get about 17 mpg.
