Can anyone explain why my MPG did not decrease with the AC blowing?

MPG goes up with temps. Apparently yours went up enough to offset the small amount used by running the AC. Maybe you were also driving more? There are many things that effect mileage, as I have learned watching my ScanGauge II.
If you can try and get one of those, you will see!
