Hello! Another new one!

Hey everyone!

I often frequent this forum for fuel economy advice and I figured I might as well join! I am Theo, and I drive a 2000 Nissan Frontier compact pickup. It's a regular cab, 2.4L 4-cylinder, 5-speed stick shift with roll-up windows a bench seat. We are talking real, real basic here. I would like to eek out more fuel economy out of the little truck. My last fuel mileage calculation was 25.91 MPG. My goal is to adjust my driving style to drive more efficiently. As for the purpose of the vehiclec, it's currently my daily commuter to and from college, 20 minutes away.

Here's how small it is.


One question though.
Since the bed is an open empty space most of the time, does this create more aerodynamic drag? Would it help some if I added a tonneau cover over it?

Thanks for reading...
Theo T.
