Yep ..I have had an MPGuino in my Civic vx for almost 3 years now. And your right the wind makes a huge difference. Like as much as 10 mpg for me in a strong wind. Because of this I try to mention the wind in my fuel log so as not to lead people astray (I have a long commute) . I get 58 mpg at 60 mph with 0 wind ,flat road, 65 -70 degrees. If I read 62 mpg on the mpguino I have tailwind . Simple as that. And yes headwind in Yaw is worse than direct headwind
