MILTON, PA – As people from coast to coast face staggering increases in fuel prices, LEER is reminding pickup truck owners that LEER tonneaus save gas and improve fuel mileage. Backed by multiple scientific studies, including recent air tunnel tests conducted in North Carolina between NASCAR testing sessions, hard fiberglass tonneaus like the LEER 700 and 800 Series reduce aerodynamic drag caused by turbulent air passing over an open truck bed.

The slippery shape of the LEER tonneau reduces that mileage-robbing turbulence and directs air over and off the vehicle in a more laminar flow. According to the most recent tests, the lowered drag translates directly into a five percent improvement in gas mileage.

The 700, LEER’s high-dimension offering, uses body lines as styling cues for a custom-fit look; the 800, LEER’s low-profile tonneau, features the pancake-flat look preferred by many customizers and urban truck enthusiasts. Both feature advanced automotive lock systems for security and interior headliner to improve appearance, deaden noise, and reduce temperature extremes; both use LEER SuperLift assist and gas props for ease of operation; and both offer optional keyless remote systems.
