Overview

In our quest to separate fact from fiction, MythBusters has put hundreds of cars through extreme tests in the search for truth. We've gone from debunking extreme Hollywood car stunts to cooking steaks under the hood... and we've barely scratched the automotive surface. Motor MythBusters steers its attention to the questions and myths under the hood of every car lover's mind.

Overview

Bisi, Tory and Faye test the myth that adding a turbo to a hybrid car will make it more fuel efficient. The team buys a 2011 Honda CR-Z, installs a turbo, and drives it on a flat road and in the hills to see if it gets better mileage compared to the original stock car.
