I hear ya too, Michigan is the same way (at least the northern half of the mitt where I'm at). Probably because of all the water just like Oregon. Sometimes we get dry spells, but it's almost always overcast and when it rains it just keeps going for days or sometimes weeks. The wind is almost always cold and gusting from some direction. Every single time I go out on the highway I get pummeled by the wind. A truly warm sunny calm day is a rare occurence and is something we celebrate. I need a heavy shirt 95% of the year. But the plus side is adding clothes is easier than taking away. Then there are all the steep hills when traveling east or west from where the glaciers cut the land, and officially the 2nd worst roads in the USA. I think I do pretty good with mpg, but I always wonder what kind of mpg I could get out of the Celeb if I was in Texas or something.
