    So how hard was the wind blowing for two different legs of the journey?

    For about 60 or 70 miles this morning, I had the thingy mashed to the floor, and top speed was about 45 to 50.

    Blowing like that around Tucson too. Right in the face.

    Took almost 1 mpg off my trip.

    Worth it though if it keeps the smoke in the communist state.
