Remember the Mythbusters didn't expect this results based on the dirty
car which got worst mileage. This would suggest that a deliberately
designed airfoil, with certain embedded geometric shapes, could effect
drag under certain conditions.

It's not that simple and straight forward.

What SIZE dimples?
Diameter?
Depth?
Located WHERE?
