From the link: Mythbuster's dimples were made into a thick layer of clay and were much more to scale with a golf ball dimple, and in fact, the dimples in this vinyl wrap are so small and not a gradual shape anyway, so not sure why anyone would think this would work.

So the vinyl wrap thing...only works over land-speed record speeds..and only works to improve mph, not mpg...at top speeds..

cool thanks
If they worked,they would work at any speed from 20-mph,up to 250 mph after which for us it doesn't matter what they do.
