I just ordered these. Great idea to keep the elements out! Also with a bonus 10% fuel saving! These will pay for themselves . What joke. But seriously I ordered these. Hope they fit with the plastic rail caps

These must be the same people that sell stickers that improve horsepower and cold air intakes to increase fuel efficiency

That's awesome..... I'm generally all for a free society, democracy, let the market dictate price, etc, etc. But it does just **** me off that people selling things can just blatantly lie. I'd bet my paycheck that those things don't improve MPG by 1/10%.

Apparently, you're a better person than me. I'd probably send them an email telling them I really like their product and would love to buy it but I refuse to do business with lying A-holes :)

That's absolute BS!!!!!! I have the Truxedo Lo Pro and they mentioned that you could increase your mileage up to 10% with the cover. In the accessories section where they list the stake hole covers there is ABSOLUTELY no mention of this. You a getting your legs pulled. :flipthebird:

Did you not look at the screenshot I posted? That’s certainly not a $12 tonneau cover. It ABSOLUTELY indeed say that.

It says they MAY improve gas mileage up to 10%. They're not promising anything.

Ha ha ha. I doubt it will improve my mileage 0.0000001 mpg. That’s not why I bought it I just find it funny when these companies try that MPG savings slogan.

I'll bet they get a lot of people with that too. I remember a few years ago a Ram commercial on TV said they can get up to 25mpg. A guy I used to work with bought a new CC Ram 1500 4x4 with hemi and swore he was getting 25mpg. I told him there was no way and he said "well I guess the computer is lying then" very sarcastically. I told him to hand calculate his mileage and see for himself. He never mentioned another word about it. I'm pretty sure the Ram that got UP TO 25mpg was either an ecodiesel regular cab 2wd or 3.6 regular cab 2wd.

Even the EcoDiesels with Crew Cab 4X4 will exceed 25 MPG, even with 3.92 gearing I get that no problem cruising on the freeway.
