Dead right. No point in having a big engine and running slow. Get a smaller one if you don't need the power. My Vetus M4 peaks at 3500 RPM but runs most of the time at 3000. Sweet as a nut! No smoke, no overheating. Uses less fuel at 2500RPM of course but runs off a sniff of the barmaids apron anyway! You are all killing your engines with kindness!!!
