Sorry for taking so long to get back. After much deliberation amongst friends and family I have found and purchased a 1995 s10 with the high output v6 that gets 24-28 mpg and supposedly he got 30mpg on a trip last summer. It is stick shift and has the soft bed cover. My first tank while enjoying some power and having temps in the 30's-40's was 22mpg. I will feel more confident in my mpg figures once the speedo is working again, right now I'm going off of my gps. The weekend of the 19nth I'm taking a trip of 500 miles each way, and we will see what it can do on the open road with summer tires. Thanks again for all the replys. I must say this is one of the warmest responses I've had on any forum. Perhaps with time and more money this summer I could see incorporating some sort of aero-cap this summer; however, working and buying a house and getting it ready for winter will be top priority this summer.
