Uh, it varies, depending on auto vs. manual, LA1 vs. LD9 vs. L61.. temperature... just started or fully warmed up... etc.

I dont know what engine you have, but on my eco auto, at idle, the needle sits right at the line before the 1.

Fully warmed up should be around 900 or less, the 3rd line valley is talking about is 750, which is normal for the torquey eco but low for a 4 cyl motor.
