It wasn't windy at all. Definitely not windy enough to notice any impact on the vehicle being pushed around from gusts.

The only difference that might have impacted aero and fuel economy this trip is that I had a 4 bike platform carrier on the hitch with our mountain bikes. Maybe that created enough drag to drop fuel economy about 20%?
Oh, ya, that would absoluty cut into it. You disrupt the air flow quite a bit at the back end, and create lots of drag. 20% might be a little excessive, but I'd guess it's at least 10%.
