With the dpf I've wondered if I'd get the same mileage driving hard, so it doesn't drop down to the 13 mpg regen stage.
I have a long bed, but would enjoy hearing how you do your bed cap.

ExplodingDinosaurs, if you're not going to do anything enginewise, you're pretty much left with aero mods, IMO. Your DPF prevents you from doing much on the diving style front, because it requires high exhaust temps, which pretty much means high rpms and little idling. Therefore, you can't keep your rpms low or do much coasting (which can give you a BUNCH of mpg's. You can still look into an aero-cap, a grill block, fender skirts, belly pan, etc. I'm currently working on a aero-cap. If you have a short bed and mine works well, I'll post the plans when I'm done.
