Just the Wind?

[bob23]

2 of my mates are lorry drivers 1 has a scania, the other has 4 lorries, 2 volvos 1 scania and 1 merc, on a windy day against the wind the mpg for my mate with the scania drops from 8.5/9 to around the 6 mpg mark and my other mate the scania drops from 7.5/8 to 5.5 mpg the volvos drop from 7.5 to 5 mpg and the merc drops from 7.5 to 4 mpg, so the wind can have quite an affect.

Drove into work this morning into a strong head wind and MPG was down from 52ish to 49mpg

Hopefully the wind will push me home

Slightly uncomparable though isn't it.

A lorries Cd is astronomical compared to a car, plus they are pulling ~20times the weight fully laden.

It's just the M4, I do 500 miles a week on it and it robs me of £125 a week......
