I was looking through some of the archives and didn't see anything specific to driving in rain or with the road reasonably dry right after a rain, except one post which really didn't show the same thing as I am experiencing. I have been experiencing about a 4-5 mpg drop running approx 55mph during these conditions. Today in moderate to light rain on my commute, I got 64 mpg. Usually I get 69-70 mpg trying to run 55. A few days ago it had rained pretty hard during the day, but on my way home that night at about 8PM, it wasn't particularly cold, about 58 degrees and the road surface was not wet enough to kick up any water from the tires, I couldn't get over 65mpg and the lean burn was difficult to get to go over 75. The commute is pretty hilly, and other than the humidity, I don't see much change. Yesterday in the dry, I averaged 70mpg.
Does anyone else see this kind of change?
Thanks,
Robert
