    The paper deals with collocation methods for two-point boundary value problems. When using \(k\)-Gaussian collocation methods superconvergence \(O(h^{2k})\) at the grid points is well known. Unfortunately, the error at the non-mesh points is \(O(h^{k+1})\) and drops down to \(O(h^k)\) in the derivative. The authors show that in every interval there are special grid points where the order \(O(h^{k+2})\) and \(O(h^{k+1})\) in the derivative can be achieved. Then this fact is used to construct new interpolation schemes producing global errors \(O(h^{k+2})\) without any additional computational effort. Finally, some numerical computations display the power of the suggested method in comparison to standard collocation schemes.
