Hello -

Decent MPG on the way to work in LA Rain :

The average speed of 41 MPH is about 6 MPH lower than my normal average freeway speed. No traffic jams bad enough to really bring me down.

There were a line of at least 10 cars with their emergencies on, mixed with traffic but in the same lane. They didn't have Funeral stickers, but I am sure they must have been a funeral caravan.

Considering the weather I am happy with the result.
