Adam and Jamie test the movie myth that a convict sandwiched between two chubby cops survived after their car was T-boned by a truck. According to the movie, the impact was cushioned by the padded policemen, but is this just filmic physics or could larger than life passengers really save your neck? Meanwhile, Kari, Tory and Grant take their foot off the gas as they find out if 'hypermiling' could double your mileage, and double your savings at the petrol pump.
