freebeard,
Feel free to work on it if you like. I'm just giving you a poke in the side

A commenter on my article shared this, and I'm not sure if it's been posted in EM yet:
How Ram Games the Fuel-Economy Test with a Badge

Quote:
...the 21/29-mpg HFE is the result of Ram engineers shrewdly navigating the EPA’s byzantine fuel-economy regulations and recognizing that one configuration of the umpteen-million cab, bed, and equipment combinations cuts through the air with slightly less drag. That truck is the two-wheel-drive Ram 1500 quad cab equipped with 20-inch wheels, wheel-to-wheel step bars, and a tonneau cover.
