My '05 S has averaged just over 22 mph over the 2,200 miles I've put on since I got it. About 1/2 of this has been at highway speeds. I, too, have wondered why the rpm is so high in top gear. I'm not going to say I know better than the German engineers, but I would think that the 6th gear overdrive would produce significantly lower rpms.
