I blame that ramp sticking up in the air, possibly aggravated by airflow directed down by the aero topper. Good thing I only needed to drive about 60 miles, but it still messed up mileage for that tank.

No surprise. A drag screed undoes all your optimizations and then some. For utility a tilt bed may be another option for some to consider...
