Dragy is a decent app but you're talking about comparing different conditions, different dates, different mods, different roads, different slopes, etc. Way too many variables. Spoiler surely isn't one of them though LOL.
Well it’s the same exact stretch of road and temp was within 2 degrees on those runs. Also no wind on those runs either both runs at 4:00am on a cool perfectly still night. Same driver too... The only variables are the changes to the car really.
