I still abhor the existence of purpose built vehicles for MPG competitions, because even though there is a kernel of truth to the BS vehicles, there is still no way that real world conditions can be controlled to exacting circumstances necessary to find the type of mileage that they're getting.

Obviously, you can't account for every real world issue that might arise, but damn, at least try to cover SOME of them.
