Dude 2000-2200 rpm is a great cruising rpm, this is a can't have your cake and eat it too type of thing.

Are you crusing around doing 120? I don't get it. What speed are we talking about and what are your current RPM's at it. It can't be that high.
Im talking about me runing 70 in 5th gear and taching about 2,000 -2,200. Not that high but still high enuff to kill highway gas milage.
Yea dude wtf, thats great RPM's on the h-way.

The only literal answer to this question is........DRIVE SLOWER
