As a long-time VMSpc user, I do not doubt that the 1 mpg increase was seen. The
problem is in ascribing a particular cause to the phenomenon, sort of like "I
have cancer, and I know it was because that crop-duster flew too close to my
house when I was 10 years old."

I routinely see 1 mpg or more difference in trip segments. Most commonly
West-to-East is better than East-to-West, because of prevailing winds, but also
due to wind anomalies and of course gradient direction. A good head wind can
knock a full mpg off, as a tail wind can add an mpg, for a difference of 2.

Hoping to head up the Oregon Coast tomorrow, and the forecast says I will have a
small tail wind
