No mods, just very careful driving with no a/c turned on. It was a rather cool rainy day, so was able to make extra miles by turning off a/c. Also, I find that a "pulsating" driving pattern where you pull back off the accelerator anytime it drops below 50mpg on the active monitor works well, but accelerate when you get the chance. I have to be honest, in order to get above 50mpg you really have to accelerate in slow/unsafe ways for normal driving conditions, I normally get 45mpg in my Insight.
Did you do any mods to your car? I can rarely sustain +50 mph speeds with such low rpm and high instantaneous mpg as you're getting, unless I'm going downhill of course ... is your car CVT or manual?
