Just case you guys hasn't already noticed, you gotta find something else to gripe about... Their math is spot on.

The concept is garbage, but the math is correct.
Um... No. It IS 22 percentage points, but increasing from 68% to 90% is an increase of (drumroll) ((90-68)/68)*100=32.4% in m.p.g. Or, another percentage is that what used to take you 90 gallons now only takes 68, an improvement of (drumroll) ((90-68)/90)*100=24.4% in gallons per mile.

Except it doesn't.
