Summary: Gear ratio for fuel economy

I had driven a VW rabbit with 3 speed automatic (model year 80) and had make
it run to full speedo scale. (don't remember whether it's >80mph or >85mph)
The car run O.K. for quite a few hours on AZ freeways. Gas mileage is ~25mpg
as far as I rememberd. Was I running at redline? (for a few hours?)
It is a surprise to know that.

I don't own the car. It was a rental.
We still keep diving the same car for several months afterward and without 
problem.
