Yes, my highway mileage went up with the tonneau and driveability improved
(less affected by windy conditions). I don't have my mileage numbers handy
right now though.

I have a Downey SST, no-drill, but I'm not sure if I'd recommend it to
others or not. I'm happy with mine but I'm sure there are much better ones
in the same price range.
