2000 rpm

my friend and i were talking about gear ratios, and some how he said about 2k rpm was the best rpm for mpg. my question was yeah on what size motor.
then he correted and said smaller motors nee high rpm to cruise at tha same hp. well to do 55 mph my 98 taco needs about 40hp.

that got me to thinking what mph are you guys at, at 2000rpm in top gear?

98 4x4 tacoma 2.7 5 speed manual. 59mph@2k rpm
09 4x4 tacoma 4.0 5 speed auto 67mph at 2k rpm
07 camry se 2.4 5 speed auto 63mph at 2k rpm.

if i remember correctly
09 silverado 4x4 5.3 4 speed auto 80 mph at 2k rpm.
