Mine is about 2000 at 70. At 80, sometimes it's 2300-2600, and sometimes 3000.

well it depends, if i leave it on D, im around 2200, but when i shift manual im at about 5500 on 2nd and drops to about 2000 on 3rd. i love shifting manual in an automatic, i especially love the rumble of my intake at high RPMs.

Interesting question because I was wondering about this also. The rpm on my es300 is about 3K when i'm cruising anywhere from 70-90. Is this normal? I made a long road trip recently and noticed this (i also had the ac on).

My other car which is a 4-cyclinder also maintains rpms at about 3k when driving at 80 mph. this is what led me to wonder if my es is setup correctly.
