Default What a difference wind will make...

I just posted another tank - here are my notes:

"Wind was certainly a factor - we've had winds up to 50 miles per hour in the last week - routinely over 40. My trip home is usually the best FE. My last three 37 mile trips home were: 42, 45, and 30.8 mpg. Obviously, that's two with the wind and one against. Geez, I'm tired of wind!"

I would have never thought wind could make a 15 mpg difference! If April showers come in like March winds, I'm going to have to boat to work.
