(1888PressRelease) March 17, 2011 - With the rising cost of fuel, the truck accessory industry is reacting by providing consumers with incentives on their tonneau covers. For the first time in nearly two years, the price of fuel is now over $100 per barrel. Pickup truck owners are paying more at the pump and online website retailers like RealTruck.com are offering free gifts with purchase to bring more attention to tonneau covers. Truck bed covers can save truck owners money on fuel by reducing drag on the vehicle.

According to research by the Specialty Equipment Market Association (SEMA), tonneau covers can save an average of 5% on gas expenditures. Some brands even boast up to an 11% gas savings per year.They work by decreasing the amount of drag on your vehicle. Less drag means lower air resistance and thus creating a more fuel efficient truck. Open truck beds create drag as the air flows over the aerodynamic front end of your pickup truck. It then catches in the truck bed and produces opposite force on the tailgate.

Jeff Vanlaningham, President of RealTruck.com, an online truck accessory retailer; explains why they've decided to offer customers incentives like tailgate seals and LED tailgate bars with tonneau cover purchases.

"Across the nation we're seeing an average increase of gas prices anywhere from 50 to 60 cents more per gallon than what we were paying a year ago. People who use their trucks daily for either work or travel need a long term solution to combat these prices."

From now until the end of March 31, 2011, RealTruck.com is offering a free gift and free shipping* with the purchase of any of the following brands of tonneau covers:

Lund - Free Tailgate Seal
Rugged Liner - Free Tailgate Seal
Bak - Free Fire and Ice Tailgate Bar

Tailgate seals offer protection to pickup trucks by working in conjunction with the truck bed cover to seal the tailgate and protect the contents of your truck bed. Most kits come with molded rubber or similar material to keep water and dirt from entering the truck bed.
