Latest from the gurus on fuel savings?

Unfortunately, they combined too much in the featherfoot vs leadfoot test. Playing the lights- less braking- is a very good way to save gas.

Mashing the pedal vs feather touch leaves a lot in the middle. Full throttle vs barely cracking it is not proper test- one needs intermediate values. Optimum throttle for acceleration is somewhere in middle- not at either end of scale.

Interesting, but I don't think they can achieve the sort of accurracy with the Mustang (using 1 fill-up) or the Land Rover (computer readout) to say that the small improvements (less than 5%) are statisticaly valid. Of the the two results, I believe the Land Rover results are more credible, but not perfect when trying to detect small improvements (less than 5%).

I also thought the comment about the tire inflation pressures for the Mustang was ridiculous.
