What's your tach read at 60?

I have the 5-speed, and I'm at about 2700 RPM's at 60mph. What are you guys at? What about the folks with autos? I assume you'll be lower, around 2300... Am I close?

The ONLY thing I don't like about my Protege is the short 5th gear. The engine has enough torque that the car should have a taller 5th for more relaxed highway driving.
