Super Mileage Competition
Once a year colleges and universities compete in an national engineering contest called the “SuperMileage Competition.” The objective is to build car that get great gas mileage, and the car with the best fuel economy wins. The students who won built a car that got more 1,700 miles to the gallon. They were from Canada and have become the talk of the country. Some students from Cal Tech came close with a car that got about 1,600 miles to the gallon. It’s incredible, but also obviously very feasible. Yet American companies claim they can’t increase the mileage cars get. Maybe some of the automakers in Detroit need to take a page from the book of these students to improve their cars
