Default Cruising RPM w/4:10 gears?

What's the rpm when cruising with 4:10 gears on the freeway at about 65mph with a T56? Anyone have significant loss of mpg?

^ Sounds about right. Cruising at CA highway speeds (75mph or so) I'm at about 2100 rpms in 6th. Very nice since you can still accelerate without having to down shift... i'm lazy sometimes! Still get good highway mileage to.
