I'm sure it's an oversimplification, but I estimate I see maybe a 10mpg loss when the roads are damp, and might see 20-30mpg lost if the water is visible. Add to that, I sometimes have to run the A/C compressor to keep the windows from fogging and a 95mpg highway trip can easily turn into a 60mpg trip.
