High RPM's at Highway Speed

[BungiFungi]

Hello everyone, I am new here (new car to me) and have a question

I have an 2002 Corolla CE 5 speed 127,xxx in which the RPMs seem too high sometimes, but only at faster speeds in 5th gear, otherwise everything is perfect

~2100 @ 55 mph
~2200 @ 60 mph
~2700 @ 65 mph
~2758-2800 @ 70 mph

This seems way too high for my liking, what is normal?

And the engine is well warmed up and I am certain I was in 5th gear, any ideas? I would really like to be able to go faster than 60 mph (thats as fast as I took it with such high RPMs). I am used to driving a diesel car and large V8 gas engines so maybe that is normal?

Thats normally, mine is abt 2800-3200 on freeway if I keep the speed constant. From a red light stop to get on freeway, I often see my rom as high as 4000-5500, so dont be supprise, just chill, ur car is fine.
