I believe the new EPA tests take Start/Stop into account so cars with this feature will show an improvement in MPG.
I don't think a taller gear will help with highway MPG. The issue becomes aero which is usually optimized around 60mph.
If we all really wanted to improve MPGs...eliminate ethanol in fuel.
