So what testing technique did they use? I remember for the tailgate up/down one they totally emptied the tanks and put 1gal in each of two brand new identical trucks and just drove on the freeway with cruise control until they ran out of gas...I wonder if "drafting" drag differences caused any problems in that episode (I'd have to go back and watch it again).
