I think the myth buster Twins made the Dimples much to large by about 900%

If the dimples were 1" in circumference and 1/2" deep a positive *effect* may be still be realized
.
Using the Giant myth buster size dimples negates any effect in my opinion and is probably the reason mpg went down in their tests. They increases cd with the larger bumpier surface area. Destined to fail using their tests conditions.
