Default Another cruise control vs PG question.

OK, I have only had my HCH for about 3 weeks and am still learning. But I have noticed something and was wondering if this is only me. PG works great....as long as I'm going with the wind. (I live in west Texas and the wind can get going pretty good here at times!) When I'm going into the wind using the CC (not contstanly, but setting it, then working the speed up and down, 1 click at a time) seems to help my mileage better than PG.
Do I just need to get better on the foot touch on the gas pedal in PG or has anyone else noticed a difference with wind directions?

Thanks

I don't drive any differently depending on wind direciton.

YMMV.

That's my 2 cents.

.

Need fewer troops to support.
Drive a hybrid.
Best tank 71.65 MPG.

Before this car I spent two years learning hypermiling on my 2004 HCH1.

I set CC and leave it in the wind.
