100 Miles Per Gallon
Here’s a contest that sounds pretty cool. The X Prize Foundation is offering up a multi-million dollar prize amount to the company/group that can create a car that gets over 100 miles per gallon. I’m not sure how they are going to determine who gets the prize if more than one car hits that mark, as it already looks like quite a few have hit or exceeded that number, but it should be interesting to see what comes out of the contest.
Of course, the next contest will be the marketing contest, which offers a multi-million dollar prize to the company that can make people believe that they won’t be ridiculed for driving one of these cars. Technically I think that this second contest will be the tougher to complete. Read about the whole 100 mpg Car Contest here.
