80 MPH in my 2006 xB 5 speed is about 4,000 RPM.

Is there a difference between manual and automatic?

As I recall, the automatics are actually geared a bit taller and get better mileage on the road. To me that says the revs on an automatic should be lower than mine.

Yep, autos are geared taller. My stick is right at 3000 rpms at 60 with stock sized tires.
