tonneau covers

I was wondering about how much a tonneau would improve gas mileage. I have 99 Z71 with 5.3 and I average about 15.5 mpg. because of my lead foot. Thanks Trey :bricks1:

Yeah, good question. Any mag articles?

I was getting my nerf bars put on other day, they do covers too, they say about a 15% difference.

I had a hard cover installed about 3 years ago. Didn't make one d*mn bit of difference. Just my experience, your mileage may vary. I just like the lid for storage purposes.

It will probably help you if you do a lot of highway driving, but its mostly for looks and to protect what you put in the bed.

I wish there was a way to have a cover and have a toolbox too. I'd have to buy a new toolbox that went inside the bed-rails..those things aint cheap.

Well go to this website and tell me if this is what you had in mind.

Well, I'll take the benefits of covering all stuff and if i get better mileage it will be a bonus..

That might just be exactly what I've been looking for. Thanks!
