BYU engineering students keep finding ways to squeeze more miles out of a gallon of fuel. For the third time now, BYU has won the Shell Eco Marathon, meaning they’ve built the most fuel-efficient supermileage vehicle in all the land.

This year’s championship vehicle can log 2,145 miles on one gallon of fuel — good enough to get from Utah to New York City on one tiny tank.

“These competitions are an insane amount of work, but a huge learning experience,” said faculty mentor Dale Tree, a professor of mechanical engineering at BYU. “For some students they are career and life changing.”
