Another data point from the highway in the 04 Odyssey V6 5AT. I've driven this particular route "a few times".

100F and reasonable AC usage is more efficient than 70F and no AC. As soon as you leave the highway it's another story. The numbers swap around with the fuel-sucking AC dominating the equation. Honda engines seem to like warm weather.
