Heading into the wind can be tough. I think quartering into the wind is worse but that may be just me. I usually luck into a good wind every time I cut through Ok and the panhandle of Texass. I try to time the trip so I get across the pan handle before noon, as the wind seems to pick up later in the day. Whenever I can, I tuck in behind an 18 wheeler. Not too close, but it helps a lot. As for fuel, I didn't really buy this rig expecting anything better than horrible, so I mash the pedal and drive with the boost gauge. I try to keep boost at 20PSI or less constantly, more for hills.
