My ScanGuage is in! But, I have another question but I didn't think it was worth a new thread...

My sister and I have to go on a 170 mile drive in the next week. I have to drive my truck because I'm helping her move, and she has to drive her car because she's...moving. But anyway, we are already going to do a 2-for-1 deal and I'm going to set it on cruise at about 58MPH and she is going to draft behind me.

But, would it be more efficient to fully load my truck or to split the load evenly between the two vehicles? My F-150 can hold 1150lbs in the bed and 900lbs in the cab, while my sister's Mustang can only old 870lbs cargo and people combined. So I was thinking of fully loading my truck and having my sister drive her car empty since the weight would be less significant on my truck than the Mustang.
