<VV> Question about revs in a PG versus Manual

[Guus de Haan]

I don't have a PG so maybe a stick shift and PG owner can answer  
this. How do the revs of a PG and a manual compare at say 60-70 MPH?  
My Corsa 4 speed has a final drive of 3.55, my guess is that most  
PG's are 3.27? Is the total ratio final drive - gearbox about the  
same between both? Is there a general opinion on which one is more  
reliable?

Thanks,
