Yeah that's a concern for me too. In the 7AT our rear end is even worse ratio than you 6MT guys (7AT is 3.357, 6MT is 3.692). However, at the speeds I like to cruise at on the highway (when possible), I don't want the revs going any higher in 7th than they are now. 7AT really could use an 8th gear (or just taller transmission gearing in 6 and 7 both) for us high-speed cruisers
