The Banged-Up Car Wins the Race

The Banged-Up Car Wins the Race

Golf balls have all those little dents so that they fly faster through the air. So of course someone had to ask, what if we put little dimples all over a car? Mythbusters tested 3 Ford Taurus cars: one normal car, one car covered in smooth clay, and one covered in clay with 1,082 dimples scooped out. While the smooth cars drove 26 miles on a gallon of gas, the dimpled car drove almost 30 miles! On a long trip that saves a lot of gas, if you’re okay with driving a funny-looking car.
