Can you drive the car smoothly at 2000 rpm in 4th?

What speed do you drive the most & how often to you like to shift?

My car has 4.10's & does not like to be under 2000rpm, (it idles at 1300) so I chose the .81 & can now drive it in 5th at most speeds over 45.
It keeps me from shifting constantly, and I did not intend on a long distance highway car though.
Maybe a 6 speed with .80 and .63 would suit me better
