'82 505 TD, extended highway driving?

Normally I drive my 505 in suburban/city driving conditions, but
every once and a while it needs to venture onto the highway. Now,
I'm not a slow driver, so I'm wondering how the motor copes with
cruising at 70-85mph for extended periods of time. It sounds like
it's revving kinda high, but since I havent gotten a tachometer to
work yet I'm not sure. How fast is the engine really turning at
those speeds? Would it completely kill the motor if I ran it at 75-
80mph for say... 6 hours?
In contrast, my mazda, which is usually the vehicle I take on long
trips, will cruise at 90+mph all day (4,000 rpms) and not even break
a sweat. But the peugeot's engine has a much lower redline and
that's what's worrying me.
