Is it against the law to have a tailwind ?
Must be. In 20 years of towing 5th wheels, I don't think I've ever had a tailwind.

It must be illegal. I've only had one tail wind. I was traveling east across Ohio. And I was in my Suburban, not the Southwind.
I had a tailwind once. It was in July coming out of Spokane, Wa. headed West on I-90.
I could actually feel it. I reset my MPG on the computer and I averaged 15.7 for nearly 2 hours before it started dropping off. It stayed behind me all the way to the pass. I hit the summit at around 13.6 ish mpg by the time I get home the computer was at 12.2. Best I have ever had towing. 65 MPH the whole trip other than slowing down in traffic.
I get in the high 10s/low 11s consistently.
