2500rpm at 65mph seems like it's about right for your car. The 2001 was Seventh Generation, and the gearing was a little shorter than the Sixth Gen HX. Here's a link off Honda-Tech (great site for us Honda owners, though lots of noise from haters sometimes):
Honda-Tech - View Single Post - d17 tranny gear ratio

That final drive is a shade shorter than the sixth gen HX, which was 3.750, I think.

I will rebuild Black and Green over decades as parts die, until it becomes a different car of roughly the same shape and color. My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.
