For reference when I had a .50 sixth gear, and 3.90 gears I was only turning 2000 rmp at 70 or something like that.
I ended up driving in 5th a lot since it just felt wierd at that low of an RPM.
BUT, i got insane gas mileage.. like 26 mph.. keep in mind that's why the .50 ratio exists, to make CAFE standards.
