Default 1999.5 A4 1.8T Quattro - What RPM at 5th gear, going 65 mph?

Hi guys, I think my RPM is too high in all gears, so just to make sure, I would like to know if anyone has any idea about what RPM range is normal for 5th gear while driving 65 mph or 4 th gear at 45 mph? Thanks a lot.

My 2.8, which has a different gear ratio, is about 3k @ 70 MPH, so 65 sounds right for the 1.8T
