I have noticed that really slick, silent asphalt produces higher FE than stoney, rough surfaces. But, this should not be a factor in your testinng since you always used the same road section.
Can you elaborate a bit of your comment about the "road/tire" function?
Can you draw any decent estimate of fuel economy difference in your tail on/tail off. data? I'm not sure how to draw conclusions from the fuel logs since we don't know when the tail was on and when it was off.
