I used interior grade plywood because it was cheap, readily available, and won't rot as long as I keep it well sealed.
Yours was one of the threads I read. Do you have issues with snow/ice/rain getting in the bed?

I'd be extremely surprised if I could get 37mpg! I'm only getting 18/20 now with moderate driving, (mostly to work and back, 3 miles each way). I also do some highway driving as I live in a small town without even a grocery store.

What did you use for grill blocks? It looks like shrink wrap. I have plans for a wind-closable plastic piece. More expensive, but durable.
