Hello fellow titan owners, just returned from a long trip to Las Vegas, and I was very surprised that my CC 4x2 gave me a 17.7 miles per gallon, this is at an average of 80 miles per hour, and I was not trying to save gas, I was just driving normal, but I drove with the tail-gate down.
I know that the air flowing over the truck should cover the hole in the bed and this way it is more efficient, but I don't agree, I acctually feel that driving with the tail down the engine does not suffer as much to cruise at 80 + MPH, odd...
I had a 4 cylinder Hardbody and I really felt a difference with the tail down, but I did not expected my Titan to average 17.7 MPG when I was not trying to save... anyway, what are your coments.... tail up or down.
