Does it actually help the gas milage to put down the tailgate on a pickup, or is it even worth it?

i watched this show i think it was called mythbusters and it was more fuel efficient to run a car with the windows down and the ac off then run a car with the ac on and windows up

It'll save you a bit of gas, but if you haul alot of cargo, a tailgate is easyer

on the highway its more effecient to have windows up and ac on, but around town its the opposite, tailgate down is just as bas a tailgate up. The best thing to do is to get a net or take the gate off totally. Sadly I did a paper on this.





I'll drive it untill the wheels fall off, then I'll buy new wheels!

that actualy wastes gas because when u try to accelerate u lose alot of gas, just keep it around 2000-3000 rpms

^no the higher the revs the more gas your using captain, think about it when you fucking a girl the harder you hump the more energy you use the slower you hump you use less energy it just takes longer to get to the point.
