Wind resistance is not linear so speed makes a huge difference in economy; you could try slowing down a little. Also, pump your tires up to their rated max. Check air cleaner, etc.
I don't recommend doing this, but when I was in college I was really poor (worked 3rd shiftweekends at Dennys) and I actually ran 37-39 cold psi in my 35 psi rated tires and would get what I believed to be an honest at/near 40 mpg out of my 2WD Subaru w/o AC on.
