RPMs at 70mph

I just got a 2003 Civic 1.7L Vtec and going 70mph my rpms are at 3300. Is this normal or hass the gearing been changed?

RE: RPMs at 70mph

my 2000 EX runs at 2900-3000 @ 70 mph

my 97 LX ran at about 3000 - 3200 @ 70

So to me that seems a bit high, but i am not very familiar with 03's
