Interesting...

In general, the cooling effect comes from a temperature drop associated 
with pressure drop...just like your air conditioner.  So, it's possible 
that your venturi is somehow restricted...

Or, excess fuel is keeping the intake air cool.  But it seems to me that 
that would take a ~lot~ of excess fuel.  I'm too lazy to drag out my 
Heat Transfer text, but it's a function of mass, for the most part.  
What kind of fuel mileage did you get on that trip?

Just more thinking out loud...
