Its only a 1.4, as you will notice people talk about bigger engined cars for motorway journys as they sit better at 60/70 with lower revs.

Something smaller has to work harder to achieve that speed, which means it revs higher. So no there is nothing wrong, my furio sits at 3/3.5 on motorways, its all gravey. :A:
