It's amazing how much difference there can be on the same routes. I went to a track meet yesterday - About 120 miles round trip. On the way, 45 miles per hour west texas head wind for 50 miles of west travel. THEN, after six hours of track-meet, the wind SHIFTS and there goes that make-up trip I was looking forward to. On my northern leg of 35 miles, STRAIGHT INTO it AGAIN - at least it had dropped to 35 by then. The rest of the trip both directions was side wind. I figure it cost me 4 to 5 mpg, AT LEAST....

Thought I was heading for another 36 mpg tank. Looks like somewhere around 34 now. Curses. Hoping for a good wind day today. That's my biggest boon or bust here. Fortunately, I always have quite a bit of light traffic hwy time.
