Preliminary 2012 Pentastar Gear Chart (beta)
#42
It's not right according to the table. According to the table he should be at about 1900 RPM, unless he actually has 3.71 gears (which is what I think he was getting at) or his tires are actually measure closer to 29" instead of 33".
The table seems to be accurate to me. I have "35's" on a 2012 JKU auto with 3.73 and I'm turning around 2100-2200 at 70 MPH; however, my Goodyear Duratracs (315/70R17) actually measure a tad under 34", so the RPM's listed on the table seem accurate in my case.

Yep... definitely sounds like the 3.21 gearing column might be off then. This is probably the type of feedback the OP was looking for. Could be a simple formula mistake assuming he used an Excel spreadsheet to create the table.
