The difference is about 4 gallons of gas in a 600-mile trip. I wouldn't get too hung up on it, especially since the TM is probably a few hundred pounds heavier - and a MUCH better experience when you arrive. And you're right, a slightly larger frontal area may be the difference.

Lotta good mods coming up. Keep us posted.
