This confused me too.

“ The idea is that vehicles lose speed from a boost when they are in the air, so the jumping helps keep the extra MPH for a little bit longer.”

Obvious pro tip to anyone who might be tempted (as I was): Do NOT check Facebook comments on the news articles related to this. It is a nightmarish swamp of MAGA idiots posting that democrats are doomed, Obama conspiracy theory memes, and variations on the word “libtard” used to replace most punctuation.
