Default high rpm on the highway

When I go 60mph, my RPM is around 2300-2600 and when going 80mph, it is closer to 3000 ... thats where my engine feels.uncomfortable in my opinion.

Is that normal for an RX300 orrr?

From what I remember, usually highway speed hovers around 3k rpm for me when I was driving. That's about right. We do have a 4 speed tranny.
