Unhappy When is MPG not MPG??

Take a look at this video on MPG from Duke university!

Can somebody explain to me, in plain English, what these guys are saying?

When is a MPG not a MPG? When people talk in riddles!

MPG calculation goes like this, fellas: you fills up your car, you presses the trip counter to zero, you drives a while, you fills up again and you does your arithmetic.

Or else you talk like you guys, example:

Man gets home says to wife,
"I saved a dollar by running home behind the bus!

"You idiot! she replies. You should have saved $20 and run home behind a taxi!"
