Apparently they have no idea how to do real testing.

The data they presented showed hair splitting mpg differences ( 1 or 2 mpg ) while giving no information about the vehicle that the engine was in. Details such as vehicle mass, transmission, drag coefficient, or frontal area would all play a major part in such a test, but they simply lumped all vehicles that had a range of engine displacements into the same category.
