First the car engine and thus the air conditioning compressor are running faster at highway speeds, so the unit is capable of more cooling. Second highway speeds force more air over the condenser coils which are in the front of the car, which means they are more efficiently cooled by the outside air thus allowing the system to more efficiently cool the inside of your car. You might want to check the "charge" of the system if it gets really cold on the highway, and is less than adequate in the city.
