Mythbusters - anyone up for a dimpled car ?

[WalkinTarget]

The show's team completely covered a last-gen Ford Taurus with modelers clay and figured out that it would achieve about 26 mpg at a constant 65 mph. They then went about adding over 1,000 dimples to the car's exterior. Guess what they managed to achieve after testing ?? An 11% improvement in MPG up to 29 mpg.

Ehhh, can't see this catching on even if it saves our planet some fossil fuels.

I saw that show, it was a bit weird looking, lol. I wouldn't care if my car was dimpled, quite honestly I'm usually happy as long as it runs nice, heh. Although mud color isn't that great looking :P

I can see some golfers wanting their cars to look like this. And they will probably paint them the ugly color schemes to match their clothing.
