Truck tailgate up or down for less resistance?

[VikingJuice]

What do you think?  I've gotten mixed opinions from reading on the net.  I heard the Mythbusters did an episode on it but couldn't find the exact one to read about.  Though I read some blogs related to it that questioned their conclusions because of the types of vehicles used and it indicated that different sizes and shapes of trucks would have different results.

I'm leaning toward putting the tailgate back up and also looking at getting a truck bed cover.  With those I've ready anywhere from 10-15% decrease in fuel consumption.

Anyone have any knowledgable solutions?

Are you drunk?

Why?  Am I rambling incoherently?  It's an actual concern since I have a truck.

I saw the Mythbusters show, and it didn't matter either way.  Actually, Jamie's truck with the tailgate up went farther than Adam's with the TG down.

You're fast.  Thanks.

I actually watched a Mythbusters show today.  It was about whether you could kill someone dropping a penny off the Empire State Building and if you could cook yourself in a tanning bed.

I like their silver pens.

I am...it all kinda jumbled together for me.

If it helps at all, you just look like a moron when you drive with the tail gate down.

Yeah, how are they supposed to see the "Toy" or "Yo" on the back of the tailgate? You didn't cover up those other letters just so they could be ignored.

It just hit me that the thread title sounds a bit like a euphemism.

It always sounded like "Toyota" to me when the Yardbirds sang "For Your Love".

Hey!  Mythbusters is on right NOW.  They're testing salami rockets. 

Luckily, they've not met SMH.

"Salami rocket"? 

I guess it's okay for giving points for girth.
