Last night they proved, without a doubt to me, that driving you truck with the tail gate down doesn't save gas milage. Actually makes it worse! I've always believed that it did until they proved it to be wrong.

Off the top of my head........ They had a chicken vs. frozen chicken one where they determined whether it being frozen or not would make a difference in impact. They used photography to determine the results, it was a matter of how long it took to rebound off the item it was projected on. This was one of those cases where they fell seriously short. The only way to determine impact with any kind of accuracy is with load cells. I used to crash cars at a test facility and we had the same high speed cameras they did and I can tell you first hand that they had no idea what they were doing on that one. What may take an equivalent time to rebound can have a great difference in G's. The frozen one could have had 50% more force but we'll never know the way they tested it.
