Civic Hx 98 >500 miles per tank in freeway.

hi to everybody.
I have like 3 months with my Hx 98'. it's my tripping car. I only drove with this car in freeways

since i bought it, I changed:
Oil 20w50 to 10w30 syntethic
Ngk oem spec Sparkplugs
New thermostat (the old one doesn't work because my temp gauge it never moves from Cold) Now, always the needle its in 1/4.

45psi in every tyre.

Aem short Ram intake (the car comes with it, i dont know if this helps to the FE)

Since I replace the thermostat, i can drive >500 miles per tank. The last read was like 530 miles.
I dont have a scan gauge or something.
I fill it with 11 gallons, so its almost 45-48mpg.

My average speed is 60-70mph.

I want to reach to 50 mpg. What do you think?
