rpm question

ok guys i know there was a thread made just like this one but i cant find it .. so i need your help..


What should the RPM be when you traveling with a speed of:

80mph
75mph
70mph
65mph
60mph

for a 2.5L

my readings are:
80mph=3100-3200 RPM
75mph=3000RPM
70mph=2800RPM
65mph=2700RPM
60mph=2400-2500RPM

is that normal

Yes its normal.. the 2.5 TL is geared for sporty behavior rather than relaxed freeway cruising.

Yeah, all those numbers look fine.

I have a copy of the spreadsheet TexasHonda made (thanks) and plugged those numbers in, everything looks good.

normal, but sucks at the same time, we are killing way more gas because of it, according to acura manager our cars are suppose to have these high rpms..if i can find a way to adjust the rpm to be lower, i def. would!
