Dude, you will have no problem breaking 40 us mpg once you get a full belly pan setup. You might also try some low viscosity synthetic fluids and some alloy underdrive pulleys. Get one of the lund wiper cowl moldings and then you can have your other wiper back. Check out Silverado30MPG if you need some ideas. I'm hoping to hit 43 us mpg @ 45 mph with my 1/2 ton.

Obama announces higher semi truck MPG standards for March 2016
I think this bodes well for the Airflow SuperTruck. A real positive step that is long overdue. Read the press release for more details. Once again the OEM's are behind the curve to private individuals.

Are Colani's semi trucks still in use? How many were built? One appears to have had the center part of the dome replaced with flat glass.

That car Colani mentions in the video for 1.7l / 100km, that was a modified Citroen 2CV. Heavily aeromodded, but stock mechanicals.
