If you can try and get one of those, you will see!
That reminds me. Whenever I have a "best run" for one of my trip logs, I save the weather from weather.com. I usually average the weather at the begin/end ZIP codes (a compromise, but I don't have on-board weather station, YET ). This helps me to compare MPG runs better.
