60mph = more or less 100kmph and mine sticks around 3k rpm..
sounds alright

this varies on different cars depending on the final gear ratio (something like that i heard)

mine runs 2400 at 60 mph. your speedo or tach could be off, mine jumps around sometimes when its really cold out for the first few miles.

Sounds about right for the 4 speed auto.

Cocker, you have a 5spd, 5th gear drops the rpms a ton, im at about 2200 at 60 mph in my car.

Yep, the 4th gear in the AT and MT are very similar, about equal actually, the AT just doesn't have a 5th OD gear and loves to waste gas.
