Good Bed Cover that will also help out on Gas Milage
Well I am on to my first mod for getting better Gas Milage. My wife said she is getting me a Bed Cover for my truck for Fathers Day & to start looking. I have a $300 budget.
I have heard rumors of the bed covers actually helping out on Gas Milage & if this can help. I want to get the one that is proven to help with better gas Milage.
Does anyone have any info on what bed cover that is good quality & will help on the gas Milage & will stand against the weather well & keep thing dry. I also want a Cover that I can take off quickly & easy.

I have a snap type tonneau cover on my truck, and its upped mileage by about 1 MPG. I drive 25 miles each way to work, all interstate @ 70-75 MPH. I know the number may not me precise, but my average MPG jumped from 14.8-15.8 and is solid as stone @ that number now. I'm sold. I usually get 380-410 out of a tank. Its all about maintaining speed. And keeping your foot out of it. Thats in the summer time as well and from chock full to dead empty.

Extang Trifecta
Just noticed Auto Anything (sponsor ) has a sweet deal on them right now.

If you are looking for a lightweight very user friendly soft (vinyl) bed cover, then I would look at a Extang Fulltilt cover. You can remove it by yourself in one piece in like 10 seconds. If you shop around you can find one for about $320.00. I have on on my SSS and would not have any other kind. Yes it did help alittle bit w/ milage but it is hard to say off the gas in that thing anyways.
