Where I live there are NO freeways, I would have to drive for 2 1/2 hours to get to an area that has a 65 mph speed zone. I don't drive much over 60, I hate those flashing lights in the rear view mirror.

Don't over-think it... Get it together as you're planning. You can always change the gears later, but 2700 is just fine.
