Anybody over test it themselves?

It's somewhat ironic that one would post such a question on ***boat.
Seriously, let's try to save a few cents per mile in the truck and then go BURN through 20 gallons of fuel in a few in an hour or 2 at the lake / river.
Fuel---Burn it up, write it off.

Hey... that's "Canatard" to you.

Good point. But if I save it on land I can blow it on water with a clear conscience.

A 460 in the truck and 454 in the boat...

WOW, one minute you post says one thing, and the next thing it is different.

Don't tell anyone, but I have gone both ways and the difference was tenths of an MPG. I don't even remember which way was better. But it seems to me that the manufacturers spent alot of time and $$ in the wind tunnels and have to meet strict fuel economy standards. If they could increase mileage with the tailgate down or by using the infamous net, that's what your pickup would come with (the net). Then you would have to buy a tailgate as an add on, like running boards.

Ohh yeah, they also tested those nets. They were worse than anything else. They did not hold the "air bubble" in, and they produced alot of drag.
It's all about the "he said, she said"

My Ford addressed this in the manual and it said UP!
