Shell Eco-Marathon: Meet the 1,000-MPG Cars of the Future

< PREVIOUS

Returning Champions

10-Mater-Dei
Mater Dei High School is an Eco-marathon dynasty, and the students took home another top prize in 2010. The Evansville, Indiana school won the prototype competition in 2008 with 2,843 MPG, and last year’s urban concept competition with 433 MPG. This year they repeated as urban concept champions, with this car, “George,” running at 437 MPG.

    Not 1000-Mile Per Hour cars…. Miles Per Gallon. If you’re a 12-yr old and writing for this blog I apologize b/c you probably don’t know the difference. If you are an adult, then yes, you are an idiot, probably another member of the liberal media giving out misleading or completely distorted facts, confusing the public at large, no doubt due in part to your own lack of education.

    It’s a typo, Lee—settle down. Fixed now.

    There’s a typo in the title unless all those cars were going incredibly fast.

    It wud of been awesome if cud get 1000MPH by harnessing natural resources, rather than by the MPG. The only one w/ such energy wud probably be nuked! HAaa,…great job guys, looked like every1 had a blast, like thoz young folks doing thoz robotic contests.

    LOL!!! Lee you are a classic (Right-Wing) jack*ss.

    Somebody writes a COMPLETELY non-political article and gets categorized by you as”probably another member of the liberal media giving out misleading or completely distorted facts”.

    You and your trigger happy Right-Wing fellow travelers are just salivating to jam tour wacko politics into anything and everything.

    Scurry off now and upload your next completely inappropriate rant from FOX and Rush Limbaugh. Fool.
