A surprise (given the budget tightness) second-place finish at the SAE Supermileage Competition earlier this month. The University of Ottawa’s slippery car has truly earned the term fuel efficient, being able to travel from Ottawa to Winnipeg (2,500 kilometres) on a single gallon of regular unleaded gasoline. A considerable accomplishment, and one that the design team is looking to top. The team is claiming that they are already applying their experience to push the car farther to a record shattering 4,800 kilometres on a single gallon of gas.
