I notice this nearly every time I return from LA in the Salinas valley. With a rather strong sea breeze in the summer (what makes Salias so pleasant) I notice at least a 5 mpg reduction over the rest of the trip and when I go south it's in the am w/ no breeze!

And of course hybrids only get rid of the
problem of hills and partially alleviate the stop/start problem.

except when bc drives.
