Increasing MPG with 31" All-Terrians

Here is my idea from my intro page, I moved it here to get more specific..
Quote:
I am thinking of making a spoiler type thingy, basicly clear plastic sheet screwed into the plastic bedliner (possibly hindged so no one messes with it when parked); leaned against the tailgate and cut so it gets the 10-12 degree from the cab.. and get some black abs plastic around the skidplate to cover the gaps between the bumper, tires, and skidplate..

Blue outline = plastic..





Do you think it will help?

I am going to to try to leave much of the truck alone until I can afford new rims/tires and lower it..
I would like to know where I can obtain the plastic sheets needed, about what thickness I would need for my application, and if it would have any noticeable affect. The bed needs to retain usage so a cap or full cover is not ideal.

Thanks you,
-James
