In my 04 Nissan Frontier, crew cab, short bed, with the tall suspension.
Albiet not the best for gas mileage but this quarter of a tank seems to be lasting forever!
I'll get some MPG numbers on the next tank. Seems to to the best between 55-60MPH. Above that drag is just horrible. Which makes sense since aerodynamics start playing in around 60mph... and the truck is a brick...red and all. LOL
I'm guessing that I'm getting around 25-27MPG. I normally get 17.5-21MPG depending on if it is highway or city driving which is the EPA estimate for the vehicle.

Hope to get some real numbers after the next tank!!!
This site is awesome! More green!! (for my wallet...could care less about "other" green. LOL)
