    I saw a picture in one of the sport truck magazines that showed a piece
of metal in the bed of a truck that formed a 'wing' in the bed of the truck
between the back of the wheel wells and the top of the tailgate. It
mentioned getting 1 - 2 mpg increase in mileage.

    I was wondering if anyone has done something like this. I was also
wondering if that 'wing' effect might provide some down force to the
rear wheels that might effect traction/wheel spin. Thanks.
