I think Mythbusters just did the "tailgate up/tailgate down" thing. You get better gas mileage tailgate up, because you create a "bubble" of air in the bed/behind the cab that almost acts like a cap. I don't remember them doing the same thing with/without a cap, but they did do windows down vs. AC.
