This isn't possible, is it?

Same car with these differences:
1-different road (more curvy some very slight ups & downs)
2-no traffic
3-later in the day
4-JLT cold air intake and K&N style cone air filter
5-SCT tuner w/ BAMA 93 octane race tune
6-93 octane gas
7-Idle speed dropped from 700 rpm to 440-500 rpm
8-Harder Acceleration in 4th vs 5th gear
9-Lower coast down to speed

These changes resulted in 123.28 (vs 62) avg mpg at 50.02 (vs 55) mph over a 6 minute highway cruise. I attached the graph but I can't even believe it myself. Please let me know if it looks like I have done something wrong.
