Of course, it all depends on the final drive, but 0.667 is a fair bit of overdrive
(Yes, some 'Vettes have a longer top gear ...)
Check out the new Ford Transit 6 speed.

3.727 1.864 1.121 0.844 0.780 0.683 Final Drive: 4.190

Three close stacked overdrive gears! I only average 27km/h so it basically would have been a 3-4 speed for my normal use. I went with the more convervatively geared VW Transporter (~1000rpm at 60km/h).
