If you reach for advice outside the ecomodder community you aren't likely to receive the best advice. Tuning for max fuel economy is an extremely small niche relative to the power and speed group.

That being said, it's well documented here on EM that lower RPM at a certain speed = better fuel economy. For highway cruising you will want the tallest gearing that will work in your application.
