What really bothered me about the video was that TFL knew they had bad data due to the wind but published it anyhow. And they did that again with another test with the new hybrid Ford. That test they could have re-done in an hour but all they probably had to do was take the trailer tongue weight off the truck and fill the tank again. The tank had been filled without the trailer attached but the second fill had the trailer attached and they commented about the fuel economy seemed to good to be true. It probably was. A few years ago someone else did a similar test and later discovered that when one of the trucks had tongue weight on the hitch the tank would not fill all of the way. I suspect that the same thing happened to TFL. I feel that if they do a test and there is a clear glitch in it they shouldn't publish it. True professionals don't publish garbage.
