Shell eco marathon. These guys are serious......60mpg is lost in the noise. UCLA and Cal Poly has gasoline teams. Los Altos Academy has a hydrogen team. Results from the last race:

What's interesting is that the pure combustion engines got way better consumption than the hybrid entry. Wonder if that was just a poor hybrid entry, or if that is representative of the technologies?

Wow, this gets even better:

The most recent record was set at the 2003 event in Rockingham, England by a French team, which achieved 10,705 mpg.

Makes Kennys 60+ mpg sound downright gluttonous, don't it.
Identifying narcissists isn't difficult. Just look for the person who is constantly fishing for compliments
and admiration while breaking down over even the slightest bit of criticism.

We have the freedom to choose our actions, but we do not get to choose our consequences.

I can't fathom how you get 10,705 mpg from gasoline - that just doesn't seem possible for a vehicle that can carry a human. I did see the gas tank on one of the cars this morning on the KTLA news - it was a glass flask from a chemistry lab. Gayle Anderson got into one of the cars - it was a tight fit (anyone watch KTLA in the morning - Gayle ought to get a medal for some of the stuff she does - and never complains - one gutsy woman).
