That doesn't sound bad and yours is only 2 years older then mine. I believe mine is the same (maybe), I don't completely pay attention. I'll find out when I go to work in the morning. haha

I don't know if it makes a difference that mine is a Manual/Stick but I just checked it out to make sure.

5th Gear:
50 MPH @ 1,500 RPM
75 MPH @ 2,000 RPM
