Golf balls have dimples in order to make them stable and fly through the air with the greatest of ease (however, you couldn't prove it by our golf game. Usually our clubs end up going much farther than our dimpled balls). Now, Fastskinz has come up with a rather dubious product that it asserts can increase your gas mileage 18% to 20% - a dimpled car wrap. You know, the type of printed vinyl wrap that you find on those cars that are plastered with full body advertisements. As Gizmodo points out in this article, these assertions are made by Fastskinz without any supporting research.
Even it it does work, can you imagine trying to wash the dirt and grime off of a dimpled car? Definitely a water hazard. We just don't buy the pitch. This is on par with increased gas mileage from putting magnetics on your fuel line. Let's just call it a sand trap wrap.
