We could at least put out one video, but even if we linked it as a video response, I do not know how many people would watch it. Top Gear had interesting people. I did not find this guy noteworthy at all, so I volunteer as tribute!
I still want to rebut Mythbuster's dimple car.
My Accord is stock. I could test a few things on that--one at a time--and make a video. Members complained about Mythbusters installing a small tank in the trunk and weighing it before and after. Running until empty is not scientific for you, either, but what could any of us do that would satisfy the rest of you?
Run a full tank until empty?
How did they measure the gallon? Did they fill a can at a gas station until it read 1.000 gallon or 3.785 liters? Did they fill a one-gallon can and call it good?
