It would minimize the factor but not eliminate it.
The wind gains won't exactly match the wind losses.
The same is presumably true for the variation in slope of the roads.
If you were able to do 50 mph runs on both roads, you could correlate the two data sets, but as is an addition margin of error has been introduced. Perhaps +-0.1 mpg???
