True, and I was glad to see the guys at TFLTruck question the results of 40MPG and plan to repeat the test. I do like the fact that they attempt to maintain consistency in how they drive and load the trucks and how they fill the tanks. The idea of filling until the nozzle clicks, wait 30 seconds for foam to dissipate, then fill again until another click is pretty consistent. Is it perfect?....No, but at least they're trying to eliminate variables.

Heck even if it ends up at 35 mpg that sets the bar high.

Looking forward to the "to be continued".....

Pre-prod truck though...
