Bam :I notice that the template picture you posted is a little off center. This might skew the results of the template overlay.
Did the two of you guys take pictures of your trucks together ?

The closest I got was the one time to 34.9mpg at 65mph without the trailer a few years ago and a couple of times at 29/30mpg when I was traveling at 55mph without the trailer. This was the first concerted effort with the trailer and without too many variables weather-wise that could influence the run with the current setup. This run would be my first run over 30mpg with the trailer.

Yes, it was a quick piccie of the rig as I was in the middle of the canopy build and gitting ready fer the road. I'll shoot a proper piccie when I can and use that. 
Unfortunately, we didn't git a piccie of both trucks together. Maybe we'll remember to do that when I zip back through on Jan 1st.

l'il T-100 mpg test
Bam,I ran back out to Mineral Wells last Friday and topped-off Sunday night when I got back to Denton.
I had wet road all the way going and some wind (Jack County wind turbines were generating)
I had dry road coming back after sub-freezing overnight temps and wind (turbines).
I pulled 30.104 mpg,which is 4.5% better than September's worst mpg,and 7.98% worse than my best.
Until we get back to Spring/Summer,I don't think we're gonna see remarkable mpg's.
Glad you got in okay.

I'm not exactly sure. He'll have to post up his length as I'll have to measure mine so you can have an accurate measurement. Both trucks in stock form are approximately the same length.
My trailer is about 7' longer from the rear bumper.
