What should my highway RPMs be at?

I generally keep it between 2000-3000 RPM. Engine sounds best there.
As long as I'm not lugging the engine I'm ok with it.
Mine is the 5-speed so I can choose whatever gear I need depending on the situation.
I learned to drive stick without a tach, so I change gear based on engine sound. Tach is just for reference.

Hello everyone,
I live in France,
Highway speed is 80 MPH.
What is the correct rpm for the highway with L6, 4.1 and 31" tyres?
Thank you in advance for your answers

32rh/30.5"/4.10=3613rpm@80mph

Math says this is the correct rpm.

no way in hell that I am driving 80 mph in my Jeep. Runs great but I am retired and never running from the law, so……..
80 kph however is a reasonable speed for my rig, and requires about 2250 rpm.

I was on Vancouver Island all week and struggled to follow the speed limit as the vehicle speedometer was very difficult to read in Kilometers/hour. I knew 100kph is approx. 62 mph soo I was constantly mentally try to calculate the limit. No one in Canuck land drives the speed limit as far as I could see.
