Re: [RC] MPG and diesel trucks - Sisu West Ranch

"....Removing your tailgate will reduce your drag..."

I have no idea if the experiment was true, or true for those hauling horse trailors, but Mythbusters on TV showed an experiment where they tried this and got substantially identical mileage.

Disclaimer: Your actual mileage may vary. Closed course, professional TV personalities.

and most importantly: I wrecked my tailgate so to save money I put on one of those vented plastic ones and the only difference I noted was the difference in tailgate price.
