Thinking of going into business :-)

By the way, I have been working REALLY hard to build my hypermiling driving chops! I am headed for my first full tank of (measured) 60mpg with the Prius c

Starting with this 71mpg run down the highway a little over 30 miles. :-)

Very nice! I like this idea and I've been waiting to see something like it go into "real" production since I saw Bondo's original work. I know several people with trucks (dodge and chevy mostly) that complain bitterly about the price of gas and how expensive it is to drive them, but they won't give up their trucks for anything... I'd love to be able to say "go to this website and you can get an aero topper that'll save you some gas."

Maybe it is where I live but I really don't agree with the "people who drive trucks don't care about efficiency" Many people need trucks for various reasons and can't afford more than one vehicle. Therefor the truck gets used on the long trips on pavement where a more efficient vehicle would have been more appropriate.

I am currently Looking at buying a new truck and would definitely consider purchasing a aero-cap to help the truck burn a bit less fuel.

For me to consider the "tip" it would have to double as a bed extender that can still load from the rear. 6.5' boxes seem to be the most common but there are many times when a 8' box would be nice.
