Those two statements contradict any claims of benefits ... Why? Because you have two wrapped vehicles that are stock units .. right? No one Demos Scions at a Toyota dealership, therefore those cars are not driven consistently or by the same person. You cannot "Feel" better fuel efficiency unless you go from a ICE to an electric. So unfortunately I think you too have fallen prey to slick advertising.
Best bet is to warm up two Scions one of the wrapped and one without and take them out on an extended hwy test drive with equipment, like a scangauge to determine if under very similar conditions there is a 20% difference in FE. Even a crude test like that would at least slow down the ridicule.
Besides, last week I sent them an email, through a blog because there is no way to email them directly on their site, to allow any experienced hypermiler put the claims to the test and guess what, no responce yet ..
