Its supposed to be that way. Most manufactures gear the trans to but the engine in and an area of peak efficiency (i.e. around peak torque) while cruising at hwy way speeds.

Running down the hwy at a lower RPM will most of the time end up getting you worse fuel milage cause you will be loading the engine heavier due to it being outside of its peak efficiency range.
