>>>I am surprised to hear that no MPG gains are realized with the tonneua
covers.
I do see slight Mpg's increase when I drive long distances with my
tailgate
down.<<<

my theory on this is: if the tailgate produced drag, wouldn't you have to
clean bugs off of it? I know there is the "bubble thing" back there, but
the bugs would probably still smack the 'gate...

just my twisted little theory =)
