Default 17.18 mpg

422.6 miles/ 24.6 gallons = 17.18 (rounded up)

not too bad

Approx 390 miles hwy- rest was city/town driving. Not to mention I had about 20 minutes of straight parking lot idle time.

Hoping for 18mpg next tank.

For what its worth,,,, I have spent the last few weeks reading about every tonneau cover made for the H3T,,, soft and hard covers,,,,, I decided for my needs a hard cover was best.

My top picks in order:
A: Diamond Back Line X
B: Extang Solid Fold
C: Advantage Hard Hat Premier

In the end, the Extang won out for me, found it and ordered it on Ebay for under $620.00 w/ free shipping,, every other dealer wants $749.00 for it.

Wanted the Diamond Back but at almost $1000.00 more than the Extang I couldnt pass up on the Extang.

Here is the link below for the ebay page,, Got-Chrome is the dealer,,,, they just sent me the tracking number last night, I will have it in two days.
On the ebay page the cover is called the Ext Solid Fold,, but its the Extang,, they just cant advertise it with the Extang name because of the lower pricing.
