Sorry couldn’t help myself but think about it; 20% if that were true you wouldn’t see an open truck bed on the highway. Just an opinion. Dan.

Sign In yes mythbusters did... they showed that driving with a truck bed door closed actually creates a pocket of air, with eliminates a lot of the resistance on the truck. I would think that a cover may help but due to this show It may be a little worse (which is hard to believe) Tom Greenleaf Ultimate Carjunky / Moderator Apr 2, 2007, 8:29 AM Post #4 of 4 (1152 views) Re: Can I save gas by ... Sign In I've seen a lot of trucks drive around with tail gate open no doubt for this reason. Don't know if that's legal and I own an 8' bed truck but have never tried. I've always had a full load and wanted the gate up. Bet it does nothing around town to leave it down. It would be my luck to back into something with it down and spend mega bucks to fix that damage. For the little driving fast (highway) I do I don't bother.
