Default 2.5 RPM at 60 MPH, normal?

I have a 1998 A4 2.8 L 5 speed. Is it normal for me to be doing 2.5 RPM at 60 mph or is overdrive not on?

sounds pretty close, i think im more toward 70-75 at those revs, you can test if od is on by putting the car in 4th, if the revs go up, then ur o/d was on, if they stay the same, then you arent goin into 5th... good luck

my 98 2.8 5spd does 3k rpm at 70 mph so sounds about right
