Window tint that gives you better gas mileage

[justn8]

sounds like a job for Mythbusters. I love that show

I actually emailed myth busters about this topic about a year ago maybe if enough people email them about it they will do it

Bit off topic but have they ever done one where they test that elevator myth that if the cable snaps and you plunge to your death but jump at the bottom it's all ok? I know it doesn't work, there's no way. But I know somebody who's arguing to their death that it will work And I'll email a request for the film mileage one... With gas prices the way they are, they should have a themed episode about methods to reduce consumption, see what works and what doesn't

The savings in fuel would be nominal, since the condenser runs pretty much continuous when the ac is on in hot months. It would probably be less than 1%. Test could be done on this, but the engineers who do this sort of thing would probably have done this years ago if they thought it was saving so much as to cause you to add film for this reason. I think we can all agree that the manufacturers would have definately paid for such a test had they thought it would lead to better marketing for auto films.

If it does'nt blow up, cause electric shock, crash, or have a possible comedic tendency (such as eating spicy foods to see what will kill the pain, a classic) they probably won't touch it. Unfortunately, it does not make for good TV ratings.
