Have owned many petrols that would happily do this, even in top, and suits me.
Have driven lots of diesels, and they would just not accelerate.
If I'd said 1200 revs, your reply would be valid to my point, but I didn't.
I also mentioned you could change gear, no shit.

Didn't realise diesel drivers still had the syndrome, lol.
what 30mph in 5th gear like the taxi drivers
