Indeed. I also travelled against a pretty strong headwind going into work today (WUnderGround.com says it was around 19 MPH coming from the west). I can normally get around 22 MPG coming into work. Today, I could be lucky I got 20.2 MPG. I figured that the truck encountered airspeeds of up to 90 MPH.
