Reliable sources say that a pickup gets best fuel economy with the stock tailgate up. However this all changes when you hook a fifthwheel to it. I have never seen a reliable test that claimed better fuel economy with a louvered tailgate but I think that may be because they didn't test one with jewels on it.
