Engine revs per mile?

Does anyone have specs on the engine revs per mile for the Elise? That translates into engine speed at 60 mph. I'm trying to get a handle on how many mph per thousand rpms it will be running. Usually a small engine has to maintain higher rpms to keep it in its power curve. I currently drive a 91 Mitsu VR4 which runs 30 mph per thousand rpms. i.e. 75 mph is only 3000 rpms on the highway. But I also have a Honda CRV in which 70 mph is 3400 rpms, a big difference from the VR4. Where will the Elise be revving?

From my quick math I come up with

Engine speed at 60mph in 6th =3050rpm
Engine speed at 70mph in 6th =3628rpm

Using the following ratios:

1st: 3.116
2nd: 2.050
3rd: 1.481
4th: 1.166
5th: 0.916
6th: 0.815
Final: 4.529
Tires: 225-45-17
