Normal RPMs for M104 engine at 60mph?

Hello all. Wonder if anybody can help me out with this. My 93 300e has usually run at around 2500rpms (+-100) doing 60. As of recent it's been a bit odd due to the rpms being at roughly 2900 when doing 60, but then if im doing 80 the rpms are just barely over 3k. The transmission has just been rebuilt and was doing perfectly fine until i noticed the rpms running higher (there is a delayed shift from 2nd to 3rd which is kind of annoying). Not really sure if this would affect anything as I am used to the car averaging roughly 15mpg due to it being lowered 85-90mm. Im big on preventative maintenance and new to working on Mercedes, if someone could post their rpms at 60 or shed some light on this I'd appreciate it.
