Really? REALLY? I'm pretty sure a few of you here have found a real positive impact on FE.
Actually, I have empirical data that pretty much shows that a tonneau cover does nothing for a Dodge Dakota Quad Cab. That Mythbusters episode mentioned in this article was when they tested a similar Dodge Dakota regular cab model. The article (and Mythbusters) should not have overgeneralized the findings from test results of a Dodge Dakota to all trucks in general.
