Please cite the 1km that was tested, because all speculation I've seen on the internet is that it's at least 2-3 miles (3.2km -> 4.8km)

And if you think 2-3 miles is insignificant, you're wrong.

You tell your boss at a car company that you know a way to get 2-3 more miles out of the car and you'll get a promotion.
