rpm question

my son just bought me a 96 neon . the question is how high should the rpms be at 60 mph. this runs at 3 grand ,seems to be going in all the gears ive even stopped and manually shifted through the gears but it still seems to run high . is this normal?

Is it an auto or manual? My 96 neon with a manual tranny with the 3.94 transmission runs about 3K in 5th gear.

its a bare bones basic with automatic.

I have a 98 auto that runs at exactly 3g. at 60mph and 58-58.5 at 55 mph.

thanks. it just seemed high for a gas saver but i guess its normal. now to get the milage up from 18 to at least 20 or better

Guess these 4 bangers are just a high RPM engine.Have to check to see what kind of mpg I'm getting,must be close to yours though.
