Just curious as to what sort of MPG increase (if any) people are seeing after installing a cover on their bed.

I have a Ford REV tonneau cover. I don't see any difference in gas mileage.... however, the real benefit is that it acts as a large trunk... with the right cover it is also more secure than in the truck itself. Some are relatively weather resistant. I can tell you that I have an XLT with 2.0 Ecoboost FWD. On a recent trip... pushing the edge of the speed limit, maybe a wee bit over... I was still seeing 29 mpg.

TFL did a test comparing mpg with and without a tonneau. Its presence made no difference as I remember. That and a nickel will get you a nickel cup of coffee ... if you can find one.
