What exactly is the difference?

Sure it wasn't just a tail wind. It was pretty windy in the midwest last weekend. I got 20mpg going from Des Moines to Joplin, MO. with the SUV.
Got 15mpg coming back against a head wind.
That is a 25% decrease just because of the wind.

Premium $4.20/gal, Diesel 4.49/gal here in Portland yesterday.

I run 89 octane in all my cars, except when I am towing with the SUV. Then I jump to 91/93 octane when the trailer is loaded.
