r you letting it warm up good, cause if you don't the rpms are quite high when you put it on drive. I'll give you a jerk.

going 80 should be around 2200 2800 that should be normal

I think 25-2800 is just about right for you at 80mph.

my car does that morning thing too. I feel it mostly in 3rd gear, it kinda shakes alil bit. I usually keep the engine at or above 2000rpm before shifting until the engine warms up.. then its ok. I dont know why It does that, its a bebti.

your rpm seem pretty normal to me but u need to keep ur care running in the morning for a good 5 min and on a cold morning i do mine about 10 min u have to have the oil warm up a lil before u start mashing on a good morning and use fully synthetic oil
