 On my recent outing with the van, I monitored consumption, as I always do.

   Outbound journey was very windy, mostly following, I got 35mpg, which surprised me somewhat.

  Return journey over same route was very windy, mostly against. I got 26mpg, which surprised me.

   Has anyone else experienced these extremes? I usually get about 30 when towing, 50 solo.VW passat estate and bailey pursuit 550-4.
