I sort of noticed a drop in fuel economy last weekend on my way from Chicago to Bozeman,

Day 1 with a 10-15MPH tailing wind and 65°F temps going 55mph I got 42 MPG.
Day 2 with a 20-30MPH head winds and 15°F temps going 75mph I got 27 MPG.

What a difference a day makes huh? Probably didn't "Need" to go 75....but I was on a mission.
