I've been using this for years.

Your car is running exactly as it should (speed vs rpm). Don't worry, you've got 5000 more rpm to go.
What do you put on the top to protect it?

Is there a washable air conditon filter availible for it? Replacing the stock paper one will get old fast....
Be careful what terms you use for the filters. We have 2 on this car. One is the engine air filter and the other is the "air conditioner" filter (which is an entirely different thing).
Yes, you can get a re-usable filter for the engine. K&N sells one as does JR, not to mention others. Get one that easy for you to obtain.

What do you put on the top to protect it?
Since it's your thread, I guess you can hijack it.
You can treat the soft top material with Aerospace 303 protectant or "low gloss" ArmourAll or the Porsche equivalent top product whichever is easiest for you to get.

I was refurring to the filter for the air condition system.
Technically, this is called the "cabin air filter" or HVAC filter or air conditioner filter.
We were talking about fuel economy and what could affect it. We were discussing dirty air filters - the one in the engine's intake.
You are changing the subject and hijacking your own thread so many times, it's really hard to keep up with what you're really talking about.

Our tops are vinyl.
At this time, there is no "cleanable" filter for the HVAC.

Sorry about the whole thread hijacking thing, but I guess I'm just so excited, I got carried away. Thx 4 all the answers though!
