Default Re: So 3,000 rpms going 90 mph? Is that safe?

Not a problem. Driving through Arizona, New Mexico, Texas at night, I had the ***** to drive over 100 all night long and the only negative was dropping from 22mpg to 1?(I really don't want to say). And that was a 1978 AMX. I drove from Phoenix to Milwaukee straight without stopping (30 something hours) in my 1976 Mercedes at 80 to 85 and the car was begging for more. The faster I drove the happier it seemed to be. All you really need to fear is getting caught speeding in a state where they have no extradition agreement with your state. You may have to spend the night in jail and pay cash to be released. If your driving in your home state you already know what the penalty's are. They car will be fine.
