How is your gas mileage?
posted by hdittmer at 8:17 AM
With local gas prices in Chicago at almost $2.60 per gallon everyone is worried about the cost of keep their vehicle in fuel. Well some engineers at the British gas company, BOC have been doing something about it. The Ech20 can travel 25,000 miles (roughly the distance around the world) on about 25 Watts (the equivalent of just under 2 gallons of gas). Their goal is to set a new fuel efficiency record at about 10,000 miles per gallon. They will be competing at the Shell Eco Marathon at the Rockingham Raceway in the UK. So think about that when you are pumping $50 worth of gas into your SUV.
