I can pretty much guarantee that the drag coefficient of your square is better than that white monstrosity. In other words, put the same drivetrain and axle ratios in each, and your square will get better fuel economy.

Haha. You actually couldn’t be more right! That white truck is my
Company’s work/tow truck and gets 13 mpg on the highway (the way I drive). My suburban gets 14 mpg on the highway and I don’t drive it any different. Haha
