I'm pretty much new to driving stick (learned a week ago), but something seems wrong when I'm crusing on the freeway on 5th gear. Is it normal for me to be getting around 3,000-3,200 RPM going around 60-65 mph? It just seems a little high compared to my now-scrapped automatic eclipse which got around mid 2,000's at those speeds.

Well the thing is, usually autos have a lower RPM for higher speeds compared to stick, and since I have to drive on the freeway a lot, I'm worried that consistent 3k+ RPM will reduce gas mileage and/or cause increased engine wear.
