You have a good feel for the gear ratio tradeoffs. I suggest working on aero and rolling resistance first. Aero would include grille block, wheel covers, belly pan, possibly an aero topper. Rolling resistance is tire pressure, front end alignment, and LRR tires. And a kill switch.
Don't forget aero for the trailer. Teardrop trailers look terrific from the side, but those square corners in the front can cause problems.
When you have done all that, then reevaluate gear ratios.
MTA: Plus what Cobb said.
