I have the peugeot 108 1.0 litre 5 speed manual, and I drove it on a motorway for the first time yesterday. Boy does it make a noise. Going along at ~70Mph, the engine sounds like it's trying really hard. Is it okay to consistently be at such a high rpm? I feel as though the engine is going to blow (newby driver and 108 owner here).

Yeah it's just the gearing. More annoying than anything, I suspect it could do with a sixth gear but then would probably not have enough power.
