SAE Supermileage Competition

The SAE Supermileage Competition is a yearly fuel efficiency competition held near Detroit, Michigan. The Society of Automotive Engineers is the primary sponsor. Around 30 teams compete to build the vehicle that uses the least amount of gas to go a specified distance. Teams are required to use a one cylinder lawnmower engine provided by Briggs & Stratton, but significant modification is allowed. There are two divisions, Collegiate and High school.
