Hi, my new to me Astra G seems to rev highly at motorway speeds - does anyone know if this is standard gearing or has it had a gearbox swap?

The car in question is a 238,000 mile ex-taxi by the way hehe

Definately, it's a 5 speed box - at 80mph it's past 4,500 irked I'm curious if this is the way Vauxhall intended?
