I think I'm seeing a partial result of the seasonal shift, (temperatures have been warmer, which should result in greater FE), but the "Ratio Rut's" if you will, seem to have shifted, resulting in slightly higher speeds for a given RPM.

To compound the confusion, I'm also experimenting with hyper-inflation of my tires, as well as my riding/engine killing technique.
