Looks like you're doing well for that commute. Our cars don't do so well on the highway, even your best-of-breed HX. I think you're on the right path with your aeromods.

My route is shorter so I can afford to go slower. The speed limits are lower. One segment has 55 mph limit, the rest is 50, 45 and 35 limit. I usually do a 25-40 p&g cycle. At strategic times I take it slower or faster, usually based on hills or intersections.
