Default Highway cruising speed(MPH/RPM)

I have a b18a1 w/ DC4(jdm) tranny from a 99 GS, at highway speeds 75-80 I'm cruising at 4k RPM. I never used to travel on the highway a lot until recently.

What are you guy's highway cruising speeds / RPM. I will check back on this later have to head to work. Thanks for the input.

2002 civic ex 5spd 6750redline

3100rpm at 70

4000rpm at 85

will those hight rpms hurt the motor on long distance trips?

At high speeda like 80mph you have plenty air to cool the engine; and at high rpms you have plenty oil pumping so..... It shouldnt be a problem
