engine RPM vs MPH

Can someone refer me to an engine rpm vs mph chart? I saw one recently that showed all three gears but can't find it now. Thanks, Bill G

Re: engine RPM vs MPH

Clearly shows one thing that annoys me about my car. Climbing a hill, 40 MPH is too slow for 3rd and too fast for 2nd. WAY too much spread from 2nd to 3rd and not enough from 1st to 2nd. When you are travelling 30MPH and a down shift cuts the RPM by half that's just too much.
