I own a 2001 Hyundai Accent and when on the highway it runs at high rpms. 3500rpms at 50mph; 4000rpms at 60mph; 4500rpms at 70mph. It stucking up the gas. Is this a simple carbaretor adjustment or something more expensive to fix?

- It's an automatic. Does this mean my transmission is going bad?
you need to make sure your trans is shifting to high gear. if not thats why your rpm's are to high.

- possible,the trans could not be shifting to 4th or 3rd gear depending on trans style.
this is just a possibility. its hard to know wtihout seeing the car.
I was having this problem when I first got my Accent GS.....
Similar to mkv said, make sure that it is getting to the high gear. The problem that I was having, is that I had never had an OverDrive vehicle before, so I had it it turned off, and it was only going through 4 out of the 5 gears. By turning on the OD, it allowed the Automatic Transmission to go into 5th gear. The first thing that I would recommend is to make sure that your OD is ON. On your Automatic shift knob, there is the larger button to switch through P,R,N,D,2, and 1, and below that is a small button... make sure that the smaller button (OD) is engaged.
If you already have OD on, then again, as mkv said, without seeing it, that is a tough one.
I hope this helps your problem.

I have a 2001 Accent. And i beleive it is haunted. Atleast the wiring is for that matter. The dash lights have always blinked on and off until the car warmed up, then they would stay on. After replacing the stereo with an aftermarket deck, i lost all dash lights and control stick lights. Also my Left tail light will not turn off, and my right one seems to be blown. I checked the fuse, and the fuse was blown in the right hand light. When i replaced it and turned the lights on, it blew again. It keeps blowing fuses. Could the relay be the issue? I am dumbfounded, and the car isnt worth brining to a mechanics shop.
