You might want to research that option. Some studies were done that proved that no only do the vented/mesh tailgates not improve mileage but can actually cause a very slight reduction. Has something to do with the air cushion that develops in the bed itself and deflects the air more aerodynamically than if it goes straight out the back.
I too bought mine just for the ease of towing, not looking for any mileage improvement.
