You are getting 36 rpm/mph, which is about average for most petrol cars. Don't you have a diesel? It's a bit high if so.
My TSX is 42 rpm/mph
The motorcycle, maybe 85 rpm/mph
My diesel truck with oversize tires, about 27 rpm/mph
Just bought a Jeep Liberty that does 33 rpm/mph, but it only gets 18mpg
