I find that the thinness of hot air helps fuel economy more at highway speeds than having the A/C on hurts it. I track my FE and see dips in the winter time.
In the winter, the air is more dense, and the vehicle's internals take longer to heat up to an efficient operating temperature. The dense cold air is better in city driving for acceleration though.

Maxed out at 33.4 mpg which is theoretically good for 600 miles a tank although I've only gone over 500 miles once in actuality. I still average around 27 mpg at 95,000 miles (70% highway)
