RPM @ 2600 when going 80MPH?

[hondaboyj30a]

I drive a 99 ex v6 and a few months ago, my rpm would be at like 3000 when doing 80 mph. And lately I've noticed that my rpm
has been running lower at 2600rpm ish when doing 80mph. Any suggestions about this?

That's great! Definately, not slipping

You change tire diameter lately - will change speedo reading.

Did you do a trans service? maybe slipping before and now is better. I wouldn't be too worried - if so, get it checked by good technician. If it slips, the rpms will go high and acceleration will feel poor. Good luck!

i dont know but it just seems like it runs at lower rpms than it used to. and i didnt have the transmssion serviced. all that i have had done was simple drain and fills using the honda atf/

A/C makes a difference....

The car will tend to stay at a bit higher rpm's when you have the A/C going..... from my experience with the V6 autotragic.
