Today, I will travel about 360 miles with this truck, on business. Prior to leaving, I will top off the tank.

Yah, I surely hope so. We shall soon see.

Are you going to tighten up the top half of the gap at the cab?
Yes, after I come up with the hinge mechanism for the cap itself. I figured that I could live with the slight reduction in efficiency due to the gap. There's already a comparably sized gap between the truck bed and the cab section. *shrugs*
