Here's some more fuel (pun intended) to debunk the myth that riding with the tailgate down helps MPG

One would think after all these years of testing and being proven dropping the gate actually increases drag and hammers fuel efficiency.
What the gate down does do is help with stability, I proved that to myself driving on the interstate with it up passing large trucks (18 wheelers) I would get blown around a bit but gate down it acted like a stabilizer and I could pass or be passed and not get jerked around from the wind push off a semi.
