Good tip about living somewhere with nicer weather. Not only can you get better mileage, you have more time to do mods.

We had 2 weeks of nice weather this year and I got good mileage. Now as of Sunday night it's back to the same old 40-50F daytime highs and rain and wind and they said expect this for awhile. Every year more and more it seems like Michigan summer is turning into Seattle.

Right now I'm getting 3-4 mpg less than last week.

Hot & humid low-density air reduces aero drag.
Would hot and DRY air reduce drag even more? Like say if you lived in Arizona?
