Default 5th gear rpm

Hi All,
I am interested to know what revs your cars sit on at 100kph in 5th (and 6th) gears. My forester sits at about 2.9k/2.8k and the wrx about 2.7. It just seems kind of high but maybe i'm wrong!
Cheers
Moose

From memory, my 99 5 speed puts me at almost exactly 2.5k rpm at 100km/h.

Standard 5 speed in the foz was ~2600rpm for 100km/h with correct sized tyres.
04 6 speed is 2800rpm with the sti speed sensor and wrx sized tyres (when I have the foz tyres on it still says 100 at 2800 but I'm doing around 107-108km/h)
EDIT: 5 speed is 4.44 and 6er is 3.9
