Is It Normal to Have 3000 RPM at 100 km/h in Fifth Gear?

It is normal to have 3000 RPM at 100 km/h in fifth gear. Below is a detailed explanation of the RPM at 100 km/h: 1. Generally, the RPM of a car at 100 km/h is around 2500, but some models may have an RPM around 3000, which is considered normal. 2. Some car owners believe that reaching 3000 RPM at 100 km/h is abnormal. However, during high-speed driving, such high RPM will not damage the engine or affect its lifespan. 3. Some people think that high RPM indicates poor engine quality, but this is not the case. Engine RPM has a range, and as long as it stays between 2000-4000 RPM, the engine will not be harmed. 4. Of course, different types of cars may have varying RPMs at the same speed. Speed and engine RPM are related, but not directly proportional. If the accelerator is pressed deeply, the RPM could even reach 3000 in first gear. 5. Therefore, as long as the engine RPM stays between 2000-4000 during high-speed driving, it will not cause damage to the engine.
