Yeah, no wonder his "former" job canned him. His numbers are all off. He's probably the guy responsible for Chernobyl.

I like how the article suggests drafting... While were at it, why not ignore traffic lights and stop signs. Any time you have to stop and accelerate it's a massive waste of fuel. Oh, and drifting around turns! Now we're saving some gas!
