Default sweet spot rpm for better freeway mpg

I have to commute 2x a week with my h2 about 100 miles each way, 400 total miles per week- all freeway miles. I have 37 inch tires , (inflated to 50 psi )with 4:56 gears, I try to drive at about 2k rpm (equals to 63 mph) which seems to give me better mpg on the computer (not sure if this is BS or not).

What other minor tweaks can can I do to improve the mpg on the freeway? Or should I juss say **** it and enjoy the commute? Im not sure if babying it even helps on the freeway.
