U-M's Supermileage Team is aiming to break fuel barriers—with a lawnmower engine. This summer, they’re competing in the SAE International Supermileage Challenge, where student teams design and construct fuel-efficient vehicles with small four-stroke engines. The team's goal is to beat the North American record by reaching 3,300 miles per gallon.
