Guys- Since I installed my MFA cluster, I have noticed a strange phenomenon with my fuel economy.
First, a little background. I commute about 18 miles each way. I start out around 400 ft elevation, get on the freeway after about a mile and drive downhill to sea level. I then merge onto a different freeway and immediately climb the steep side of a 1000 ft pass. Next, down the less-steep side of the hill and exit the freeway for the final mile of my commute on surface streets at about 200ft.
In one direction I get about 42-43 MPG. Other direction I get 48-50. Anybody care to guess which is which, and explain why?
