    Nope, the no tailgate and net was the best. But your problem isnt aerodynamics by any means

    Well it was a minor problem and it gets a little better mpg and looks a lot better without it so I'm happy ATM.

    Well it was 4 am and an hour drive with no cops out. And I had to be at work in 2 hours. And my truck hauled ass. I drive 70 all the time on 55's n 60's and do the speed limit on 50's n lower. **** I did 100 past a cop and didn't get pulled over. But I keep it under 3 k rpms except when I race chebbys or in a hurry.

    Keep it under 2. That's where your mileage is. I hate to say it man, but youre just not listening. Tune it back to stock, ditch the 33s. Unless you want bad mileage keep the 33s. If you're truck is completely stock than you have eliminated everything else and in that case you have a serious problem, other than your driving habits. You have a truck not a race car.

    Your back seat has nothing to do with gas mileage.
