Sounds about right to me. 3.45 would probably leave a bit of fuel economy on the table, as it would basically be like getting another half gear at the top and losing half of one at the bottom, but you'd only lose that economy on the flat. A vehicle needs to be drivable, and I don't know of any other vehicles geared as tall as the Insight.
