Well, mine has a 1.1L engine. 8 valves and one camshaft. The engine is the same model as the Citroën AX line (at least for petrol cars), the peugeot 306 and 106 in their 1.4L and for the 1.4L 206 (at least the one made in Chile).

Anyway, Even if I wanted to run the car at lower revs I can't because of 2 reasons. First, living 2600 meters above sea level takes off about 40% on the car's power (unless ytou're running some kind of overcharging) and second, the route I take each day is located "in the mountains" (just to give it a name) so you have to climb a lot and there are some parts that are very steep and the road is very fast as well so sometimes I have to keep it in secong gear at 60+kmph or 3rd gear at 80+kmph.

Oh, and thanks for the welcome. BTW, how long has this part of the board been running?
