This is why some V6 cars only use very slightly more fuel than their 4-cylinder counterparts. On the other hand, their SEAT Ateca 2.0 TDI (which has considerably more power) has a 7-speed double-clutch and cruises at a much lower RPM of about 1700. For example, my parents’ Golf Mk6 1.6 TDI has a 5-speed manual and cruises around 2300 RPM. In general, cars with more power have lower cruising RPMs since 70mph is barely ticking over for them.
