Engineering students develop car that covers 180 km in 1 litre petrol

For those who are on a look out for a fuel efficient vehicle, here is a good news. A group of students have developed a car which can travel an amazing 180km in 1 litre of petrol.

A team of mechanical engineering students of RV College of Engineering, Bangalore, has designed and developed an aero-dynamic extremely light weight prototype with a low power 97 cc generator engine of two horse power (HP).

The car has an air-cooled engine with molten sized recumbent rear and two front wheels weighing 600 gms each, leader of the eight-member team, Nishant Sarawgi said in Guwahati on Monday.

At a power-point presentation of the prototype vehicle 'Project Garuda - RVCE Supermileage Car', Sarawgi, who hails from Guwahati, said the carburetor has better-burning efficiency and higher control over air and fuel mixture.
