I have been looking at this for a couple of years at the local junkyard. I'm wondering if the nose cone could be any help for MPG? Maybe along with some sort of tail piece to break the drag on the tailgate/ramp?
Thoughts, ridicule etc. ...

Not a crazy idea at all.

If I could gain 2 mpg that would be at least 20% or 7.6gal/tank or approx. $23.00 per tank. I burn at least 3 tanks to go to just about any rally I attend. So let's just call it 75.00 per trip. 5 rallies per year = 375.00. That's a nice dinner and couple tee shirts at Sturgis. Maybe a whiskey or two as well. Seems like it might be worth the try.
