I do have a LOD measure which shows, er, something. Daox speculated
here about how it came about the figure it shows.

It took some getting used to it but in reasonably calm weather I have experimented with P&G which involved 3rd gear to go from 50-70 - roughly 4-5K or around the peak of the torque curve for the little VVT. I am impressed with how quiet the engine is at anything under 3K.
And yep, winds are killing any attempts at FE here with this hurricane thing. Problem is that the wind comes across from the side on one section, and then when the bypass drops between some hills the wind then comes from the front. The P of P&G was taking 2-3 times as long as the G bit so I didn't bother.
Never seemed to have the wind pushing me of course, except my own.
