In this instance, I'm lucky that I work southeast of where I live. The wind hasn't been too bad in the morning, and then I get to exploit it on the way home. But you're right, prevailing winds are out of the west/northwest off of the Lake.
Doax, you hit the nail on the head. I am definitely itchin' to start aeromodding! My goal is to cruise at 60 mph at 30% load, which should net me at least 40 mpg.

(woo hoo, 600th post!)
