Sorry to mine this thread up.
Dont know if anyone else saw it last week, they revisited this myth, and used a fuel flow meter this time to get closer to accurate milage figures, tailgate up, and hard top used same amount of fuel, and they tried a few other things, and the best thing they got (5% better) for economy was a rubberish mesh over where the tailgate goes (they removed it)
