Am I missing the overdrive transmission to turn those 3.70's into highway gears to cut down on gas, noise and engine wear? :) :)

i put a 120 miles a month on my car right now, and none of that is on the highway (by the way it is my daily driver). i dont think i ever get it above 60. i just like having the ability to get to 60 really fast. people at work are always shocked to find out that i dont squeel the tires and race at every light, but my thoughts are its my baby i dont want to tear it up. it might be nice to lower the rpm's but untill i start puting more miles on it i can not justify the 1500 to my wife.
