alright so when im on the highway and in 5th gear...say 65 im at about 3200 rpms...this seams to high to me...also should be noted that most highways in texas average about 70 and cruising at 3400 rpms seems to high...thoughts?

ya its right at 3k when i hit 60...3200 at 65 3400 at 70 and so on...id like to drive about 65 on the highway but dont want to be sucking gas either i guess my question is if the 5sfe is meant to rev higher and if thats normal...it doesnt seem to high but i would think it would hit 3k at 65...and ya the gear ratios are waaaayyy close
