Rain, rain, go away!
Friday evening I drove 180 miles and Saturday evening I drove 180 miles back. I decided I wanted to get a really good FE tank in, so I filled up fresh and whipped out my SG-I (which hadn't seen use since last fall). Unfortunately it was raining cats and dogs on Friday!
Trying to keep speed in the range 52mph-62mph in general, DWL and neutral coasting when appropriate, I found that on the way down I needed to keep LOD around 49, while on the way back (no rain!) I could keep LOD around 37! SG-I reported a difference of 10mpg (45mpg versus 55mpg, though it is about 10-15% optimistic and an early revision so not adjustable).
So I found rain to be a big hinderance to my FE! How do you guys deal with it?
