No, don't. Freeway riding is one of the places that you do NOT want to up the gear ratio.
With a stock GZ, you should be able to keep up at 70.....absent a hill or head wind.....but just barely. With a 16T front sprocket, you will lose top speed, not gain it.
Do you have a windshield? If not, that might help a bit.

Road trips on the GZ can be fun......if you stay OFF the Interstates.

Don't suppose you have an alternate route to work that does NOT involve the freeways ????
