Much higher MPG in the heat?

Any reason that my highway MPG rises significantly (from about 28.5 MPG to 32.5 MPG) in warmer weather? The 28.5 I get in winter, and now that spring/summer is rolling around (80 degree weather here in northern Virginia) by highway MPG is happily back up to 32.5. These are SID averages over long trips (DC to NYC). I suppose humidity may be a variable along with temperature. Funny thing is the 32.5 includes running the AC--the 28.5 does not!
2002 9-5 Aero with Mobil 0W-30.
