When you get the lower temps are the engine revs higher? So when you are cruising on the highway your revs might be lower and thus the compressor is not turning as much as at lower speeds with a higher engine speed such as around town. I've noticed a similar problem with my wifes car where the temp seems to drop noticably at lower speeds/higher revs around town and then climb noticably at higher speeds/lower revs such as highway cruising.
