engine rpm's

Asked this on the dodge stratus site and didn't get an answer so I thought I would see if anyone here can help. Kid has a 2002 Stratus R/T with the 3L in it. This is the Mistu 3L with an automatic. My question is what rpm's do your cars turn going down the rode? I ask because we went on a trip over the weekend and we noticed that at 75mph it was running a little under 3000rpm's. Thought this was high, but maybe not. We also had our 2002 Bonneville along and it was turning 2000 at 75.

at 75 mph i'm running close to 3k as well, i think at 70 it was 2.5k but not totally sure, i do remember my friend's car constantly being in the boost when he was driving in his GS-T (above 3k rpm) but he drove like a bat out of hell

Yeah my car also runs just a bit under 3000 at 75 to 80.

Well, considering the Car redlines a little over 6K rpm, I dont see anything wrong with 3K at 75. At about 85 im running about 3200, and still get real good mpg highway. In the city i get about 21 on 92 octain gas, with my last trip to Chicago getting me anywhere from 30-33mpg on the same gas. If you still think that only 3k rpm is high change your hear ratios to be longer in 5th. I dont really see any problem with how they are set up now, unless you are trying for a land speed record...Thats just what im thinking. Anyone else smellin what i'm steppin in?

yeah thats about right
