for me its bad. depends how u drive..
u saw my mazda its also 3000rpm at 80..i freaking hate that..
if u are 60mph cruiser than u are fine because at 60 your rpm is at 2500..thats where it should be for maximum fuel economy anything above hurts fuel economy..the other thing we cannot cruise at 90 95mph because our rpm will be touching 3300-3500 which pretty much means unbearable engine noise..i cant stand that whining at 3500rpm..
my cousin Acura TL(2006) is 2400rpm at 80mph i am so jealous.. , new sienna also has similar ratios.
but we are much better off compared to g35 owners.. that thing is 3500 at 80..
