Truck Bed Tonneau CoversDiscussions about Truck Bed Tonneau Covers.
This is a discussion thread titled "Tonneau Covers = increase Gas Mileage?", within the Truck Bed Tonneau Covers forum, part of the Technical & Vehicle Assistance Forums category.
Take a look at the Nascar Trucks! Why are their beds covered? To reduce drag, improve mileage. They do add a spoiler to the rear to increase down force.
Thanks Everyone for your feedback... It's good information. I also did some tests in keeping the tailgate up, down, and removing it (as others mentioned) in the past couple of weeks... And I still avg. 20 mpg. (Testing 10 gals., 87, 76 Station, similar diving conditions (85% Hwy) = obtained 200-209 miles (warning light to warning light).
