Fuel milage with truck cap?
Has anyone seen a real fuel milage gain with cap on the bed. I was hoping to see at least one MPG at 65mph. I thought I might see two MPG towing our TAG car hauler.
Has anyone tried smaller mirrors? Does the bug gaurd make any difference?

I like it, if I had it to do over again I would not have ordered the optional screens for the flip out windows. The removable front window is awesome. It's easy to use and great for keeping the back window of the cab clean. I guy I work with has an XQ and likes it, I like the frameless windows on the XL.

No measurable mileage difference here either, it did quiet the ride abit. And as far as the Lear XQ, love mine, gives the truck that SUV look. The only thing I don't like about the cap is that it gives a leveled truck the illusion of it being nose high, and a squating look to rear. The cap is higher in the front/lower in the rear for a level look for un-leveled trucks. My only complaint.
