I'm counting on Sludgy's skill and the skinny tires.

29.8 picoacres.
(That works out pretty close to 19.5mpg)

Answers and hints:
The truck bed cover is made from 1/4" luaun plywood; it's flat, not tapered or boxed.
The closest guess is the winner, whether high or low.
The rear wheels are single.
I plan on adjusting the odometer mileage for tire diameter, as published in the Tire Rack tables.
I'm at ~320 miles thus far on this tank. Weather has been mostly good so far, except it sucked today on about 100 miles of the return trip from Holyoke, rainy with strong headwinds. I tucked in behind semis most of the way, but this weather has to have hurt mpg.
I'm making a 100 mile round trip to Haverhill tomorrow in better weather, after which I'll gas up at the same station.
However, I'm using the wife's car to go to NY this weekend, and may not have time to post the results and select the winner until Monday.

18.5
I used to have a 7.3 IDI dually. My TOP mileage I ever got was 23. That was a freakish ONE TIME thing. It consistantly got 14-15.

Years ago, I put 1000's of inefficient miles on the Ford E-350 Ambulance Conversion Van with the 7.3L non-turbo Navistar Diesel. The Cd had to have been terrible with the extended height and lightbar. Ah, the good old days...
Unit 113: Second from the front, behind the Bronco.
We would fuel-up at the end of every shift, but FE was rarely calculated. I once did some calcs and figured 14-17 depending on how many emergency calls we had vs. long-distance transfers. Then the turbos came out, right when I moved-on...
