I'm thinking about buying about a 97 Eclipse, preferrebly the turbocharged version. I'd like to find out what rpms the Eclipse runs at 70, 80, 90, and maybe even at 100 in the highest gear. I don't want anyone to get a speeding ticket because of me, but if someone knows this, I'd appreciate it. I do a lot of highway driving, and I think it's better if its running lower rpms at these speeds. Currently I drive a 91 CRX, but at 65 it's at 3000 rpm, at 82 it's at 4000 rpm. It's kind of high, to be doing that for hours straight.

There are calculators for this. Search google for those, and you'll need the gear ratios for the car you want to buy. There's a difference between the models, these are AVERAGES for a GSX.
60 2500rpm
70 2900rpm
80 3400rpm
