Yeah at freeway speeds of 70 - 80 mph, it should be between 2000 and 2250. 4 cylinders tend to have higher freeway RPM's at 2500 - 3000. Most V6 and V8 cars should be around 2000. Diesel vehicles have low RPM's around 1750.

Well sort of; your statement is true if those cars have automatic transmissions; for cars with manual transmissions the RPMs are typically a few hundred RPMs higher when tooling along in the seventy to eighty mile per hour range.
