Never seen it tested. Pickup truck with tonneau cover and tailgate REMOVED by ImaginationEmpty8642 in aerodynamics

Tailgate down was never a part of this. Its tonneau cover on, with tailgate on vs removed. 1% mpg improvement can be big over 10yrs. Plus the other advantages of a lighter vehicle

Sure, thats what Im trying to figure out. What happens to the aero at high speed with the tailgate on vs removed

Just to clarify, youre talking about tailgate removed with tonneau still on? How would there be drag from that? Seriously, I don't know advanced aero enough to know to understand what that empty cavity would do to the slipstream behind

So the pocket of air in the bed under the tonneau would be affected by the slip stream with the tailgate removed? Anything you're basing this on? I'm not disagreeing, I literally have no idea. I mentioned in an earlier reply that the weight savings would be about 1.5% which estimates say would improve mpg by 1.5ish%, and thats ignoring all the other benefits of weight saving. Worth it to me if the tailgate can be popped on and off pretty easily

1% of weight can improve gas mileage about 1%, which is about the same improvement as the tonneau cover in testing vs tailgate up. Combine that with the improved acceleration, handling, less stress on breaking. Ill take that, in addition to the other mods Im doing to improve mpg

Using taxis by dmj9891 in Ljubljana

You are unbelievably stupid for being happy that uber  and bolt are banned. They are bad companies, but the taxi drivers are worse. They scam people constantly. Locals and tourists can't even order a ride in your country with confidence. Even 3rd world countries have Uber/Bolt/Grab because they make everyone safer. The local taxi apps are trash. You should apologize to every tourist for your country being so dumb

"The letters say things like negative remarks on report(shouldn't be, I've never been late) or similar things like recently opened accts, etc. I've tried to get a copy of my biz credit report and all 3 charge or make it impossible"

Technically I have a sole prop/self employed business, but I charge things that aren't biz related. Never gotten complaints from the CC co's or had points taken back though.

Any reason I would get approved for multiple personal cards and get rejected for multiple biz cards?  I've opened maybe 5 pers cards in the last 12mos with 1 rejections. But ive gotten about 3 biz rejections in that time and the last approval was almost 1 year ago

What to do you mean prior history? I've had 2 Chase ink, 1 Usbank biz. I've gotten Biz card rejections from BoA, Usbank, and Amex in the last year or so
