Hi from Miami

[agonzalez]

Hello everyone... I've been checking the site and registered a few days ago but havent posted till now

I'm from Miami, FL and have 06 GMC Canyon pretty much stock except for a tonneau cover that doesnt help with my mileage at all

I've always gotten better mileage then the EPA estimates but i still want to improve it... hopefully i can get some tips in here... see you around!

what do you get with those? i have the predecessor (chevy s-10) and i havent heard too much about them or thier mpg. whats your setup on it? the 4 cyl and 5 speed tranny?

i hope it works for them. my v6 has the power of a 4 cylinder with the economy of a v8

There's another member here with a Chevy Colorado, which I think is the same?

would help more, no? I heard that the way it works is to keep the gas from evaporating. So maybe the only place it would NOT work is on a Prius with those funny gas tanks that keep the fuel from evaporating and hence have the same effect as acetone. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Welcome to GS! Someone made a nifty "sloped" truck bed cover for their truck, but I can't remember their handle. It looked 100% retail to me. Maybe they'll pipe up. I would search the Garage for similar trucks and see what they did.
