This morning was moist with a southwestern wind (semi head-on), 13°C.
Took off with the water bottle, no towel. Intake went to 17°C.
One short stop and one big rush to meet a stale green light.
The cold engine light went out at the third junction past school...

I forgot to set a timer, but this run was pretty fast so I guess running time does matter most. And maybe moisture; Friday was wet, like today.

Had near record MPG going to work, despite a rolling jam. Lots of forced P&G, which seems good for FE, but also the occasional brake test and creep speed. Once freed again my trip FE was where it was when I hit the jam, so I lost a bit there as normally it would have improved over that stretch.
