2012 ford fusion RPM hack

My hybrid can`t maintain a constant speed on the highway at 2000 rpm, so i`m loosing the 40+ mpg`s. Would it be possible to put in a highway only manual switch and a resistor to fool the system. I want to run the engine up to 3000 rpm to maintain speed but tell the system it`s only at 2000 rpm to kick in the hybrid 40+ MPG. I can get 40+ MPG doing 80 mph if the road allows me to stay in the 2000 rpm range. There are probably more components to fool. The engine will easy rev 6000 rpm. Driving at 3000 rpm and making more oil changes would be worth the effort.
