As an added benefit, although no scientific evidence, this cap is possibly more aerodynamic than my 2008 Access 31J. Nearly identical weight for both, yet 2013 (E450 w/6000 miles) gets 8-11 mpg and 2008 (E450 w/11,000 miles) got 6-9 mpg, both towing dolly with Jetta TDI. I believe mpg is variable due to many factors such as; load, speed, fuel/oil quality, temperature/wind, elevation, tire pressure and engine condition. Hard to tell but this unit definitely has higher mpg.
