Mythbusters aero cycle tests

Anyone see the Mythbusters show where they enclosed a Yamaha WR250 with a tube frame shell wrapped in shrinkwrap? They ran some tests to try to increase MPG, but ended-up getting about 70 MPG on their closed course. Stock it got 53 IIRC.

It was pretty crude aerodynamically. They should have done some research on LSR cycles first.

Not sure if it's a new or old show, just saw it tonight.
