Wawasee High School will again enter the Shell Eco-marathon Super Mileage car competition in Houston, Texas. This year’s competition is April 4-8.
Wawasee will enter three cars — one each of diesel, electric and gas. The goal for the diesel car, which placed first last year, is to break 1,500 miles per gallon and take first place again.
The goal for the gas car is to break 1,800 miles per gallon and for the electric car is to break 300 kilometers per kilowatt hour.
