Is it that bad out on the highway? How far down will it drop your RPM's?

Running at 55 MPH, it's about 3600 RPMs or so. But the whine of the engine and tranny are really bad.
DRIVING WITH AN SX ROVERDRIVE
To engage the ROVERDRIVE when on the highway, wait until you are travelling at about 50 mph (80 kph) in fourth gear. Depress the clutch and move the actuating lever forward exactly as you would when changing gear. When the clutch is released the engine RPM will drop by 28% and the noise level in the cab of the Land Rover will drop significantly. As changing traffic and gradient dictate, you can engage and disengage the ROVERDRIVE.
You will find the ROVERDRIVE very useful as a splitter gear between normal third and normal fourth. This allows you to climb long hills where normal fourth would be too high and normal third too low.
You cannot damage a ROVERDRIVE by using it in all gears.
In off-road conditions, when driving in low range, the ROVERDRIVE is useful for raising the ratios making it unnecessary to engage and disengage the high range lever.
Driving a Land Rover with a ROVERDRIVE is a pleasant experience as it is possible to have a normal conversation at relatively high motoring speeds.
The inclination to drive faster with the ROVERDRIVE negates considerable fuel savings to be had if one retains one’s original driving patterns. Our experience shows that drivers who use the ROVERDRIVE at moderate speeds will save up to 15% on their fuel costs. Long-term reduction in wear and tear of engine and drive line components is also considerable. Bear this in mind and your ROVERDRIVE will pay for itself quickly.

Sounds like a winner to me. Makes sense to get one if you drive on the highway at any.
Drove it to the post office.
