Fastskinz Vehicle wrap that increases mpg

I was surfing Autoblog a bit ago and they had a post about a new vehicle wrap that can give you better aerodynamics from a company that sells advertising wraps for cars. I though the people over at ecomodder would like to see this.

New vehicle wraps claim to increase fuel economy by as much as 25% - Autoblog

Check out the links to youtube videos.

...and it can't be a good as they are claiming! The cost for this is pretty outrageous, too.
