What's your RPM at 80MPH in Sixth Gear

I am just curious to know what is your RPM is when you are curising in sixth gear going 80MPH, mine is at 3K rpm, I think that's why I have been consistantly getting 24.5 mpg during my highway commute. I noticed when I drove the camery at 80MPH it's rpm is only 2500. So I tried to drive the G below between 2K ~ 2.5K rpm, man it was so hard

Around 3k RPM is normal. It's all about the gearing. The camry has different gearing.

Right about 3k here, it's to be expected it's a sporty car.

3k, high rpm like 3k is not gonna waste gas, it all about how far are you pushing the gas pedal.

exactly. cruising @ 80 can still get me 22-25MPG, then again, the road has to be leveled, with no hills and yada yada yada..

if I'm not in a hurry, i just keep it at 65. no need to get home 5 minutes early anyway lol
