Exactly. It depends on the 5th gear ratio, final drive and tire size. A Camry E153 will have nice long ratios for cruising, and an MR2 non-turbo or Celica GT transmission will have pretty short ratios for good accelleration.

You will just have to find the ratios for your particular transmission to figure out the RPM at a given speed.
