You are saying I need to switch up the gears or RPM on the highway?

You definitely should drop gears while keeping within the recommended RPM limits (<5,500) and not applying full load/throttle. I'm sure you can find a few exits with an easy re-entry and maybe use any service stations/rest areas as well. There is no reported steadfast rule as to how much time is required between varying engine speed, however, I am pretty sure it means frequently. Put it this way, you cannot vary engine and road speed too much, however, could do too little. Try to find some rural roads which parallel the highway.
