Has to be quality-controlled A-B-A testing though, in ideal testing circumstances! (Goes without saying...)

I'm betting a shirt is all they're going to see anyway, so they'd be coming out ahead with it.

Gurantee #4 Reward for $1,000.00 : We are offering an unconditional $1,000 Reward to anybody who can scientifically or physically prove that the fuel savings derived from Highway Glider is less than 2.5% of overall fuel consumption on a midsize passenger car at highway speeds of 75 mph or above.

OK, how did I miss that 75mph caveat? I'm sorry but I don't drive that fast anymore... yikes! Do people really try and save gas going that fast? Wouldn't I save 2.5% gas consumption just dropping my speed down to LEGAL HIGHWAY LIMITS like 55 or 65mph? Heck, I think the CHP actually give out tickets for 75mph on bad days.

Think of it this way; people (scammers) are bringing things to market that at least could work rather than flat out don't work.

Darn, Olivia doesn't have a front license plate mount. Otherwise, that $1000 would be mine!  Yeah, I know: excuses, excuses!

Debunking on a test would be fun: first you'd have the ticket for having that cover ( which they claim they will pay ), then there's the ticket for doing 75 which here in Jersey would be 20mph over the limit in most areas which is mandatory points and big fines ( which they don't claim they will pay ). So that $1,000 might pay for some wind-tunnel time maybe.

Well I just ordered one. Do you want to send me the shirt now or just wait for me to post the results? I doubt that it is going to increase my mpg by 2.5%, but for ~$12 with shipping maybe I can at least cut it up and make a grill block out of it. Although 2.5% isn't much I think it will be well worth the money if it does show that improvement, I'll get the 2.5% with it some way though.

I'd bet you could improve your aero more by farting out the window.
( Please .... prove me wrong ! )
