Jon , drop in fuel mileage can also be due to wind and fuel cetain rating and summer fuel and winter fuel. That Dodge of mine is as fussy as the War Dept. when it comes to fuel , then ya add in the wind drag of that box i have on the back . I do not normally travel that far with my one ton but the one time i did take it to Mo. a few years back i had real strong head winds all the way out there and i was only getting 10.5 MPG . I knew i was working the snot out of it as to how hard i had to lean on the go pedal and the fact that the temp gauge was running 195 to 200 at hyway speeds . Same thing when i had to move my daughter from Cinnci to Toledo i had a head wind heading down to Cinnci and trying to run 70-75 down 71 i was almost on the floor and fuel mileage plum sucked heading into the wind . Now on a big truck when i had my coal bucket if you ran into the wind with the bucket empty and no tarp it would pull as hard as 30 ton in high winds , if you popped the gate it would stgand straight out going down the road at highway speed , It pulled a lot better but the cops did not like it . Now you add in Bows and a tarp with a rope down the center of the bows you never felt the wind .
