Donut Media kind of sort of test ecomods and commenters brought up the MythBusters dimples

In some places they gave good information and in others they were completely unscientific. One guy said he overinflated his tires, but then called it a scam.

No, it is absolutely tested science, and if it didn't work it would be a myth that could be busted.

Who is benefiting from it?

Is it a scam if nobody benefits from it? So, here is their questionable video.
Maybe people who know what they are saying can guide this conversation: Someone mentioned "Gears and Gasoline bought a first-gen Honda Insight" and I found this: For all that I know someone posted it here and I commented on it, but it was new to me [today]!

Someone commented he loved his Gen1 Insight "392k miles lifetime FE 57.3 mpg" and people said he was bad and his car was bad.

Well, it wasn't this video: This was kind of interesting: This is the only other Insight video I see by these guys: People may complain about me necroing this thread, but if nothing else, original links broke. Here is a current link: Car Aerodynamics - A2 Wind Tunnel - Wind Camp Tech Theory
