I'll say again, I think they did a decent job. The biggest failure was having 200% as their confirmed/busted target. Getting 40% and 70% improvements with untrained hypermilers is excellent. Their comments were positive. They saw that it works, and communicated that fact. They just set up an unrealistic target and had to "bust" it because of that. Anyone who watched the whole show would see that it works.
