I wish that was true... for the past 2 weeks LA has been quite warm... 90's...

Usually it's like 60-70... and during that time I would get 30.1 MPG.

With the AC on... I'm getting 28.23 MPG.

I stopped driving at 75 MPH (30.01 MPG AC OFF) to 65-70 (28.23 MPG AC ON) in hopes to get better fuel economy.

Checked my tire pressure... I'm sitting at 36 PSI cold...39 Hot.

So from the information gathered from the past 2 weeks... I've noticed a loss of about 2 MPG.
