A recent piece of news reported that students at Delhi College of Engineering have made a car that can drive up to 170 km on just one litre of petrol. Sounds like a miracle because achieving that kind of fuel efficiency is still a distant dream for even the best car manufacturers. Perhaps this is why most of them have turned to hybrid cars. The ‘170 km’ car costs just Rs. 3.5 lakh to build and can seat only a single person at a time. Looks like universities and their students are managing to create what many qualified car engineers have been unable to achieve. Proper training and financial support will work wonders for this niche pool of talent.

Though it is great success but is it possible in reality? I mean the so called 'miracle' fuel efficincy possible in our daily rides? If this is possible, there ther is nothing like it.GEt going boys, keep up the good job!
I think it is one of the greatest achievements by Indian students in the last five years in sphere of car manufacturing.
I congratulate them on having given a 170km fuel efficiency for one liter of petrol.
I hope they lead the Indian automotive business to greater heights.
I is a great achievement by Indian students. Had they been in US or UK, they would have been termed as engineering prodigies. I hope that many more such success will make the Indian media look towards Indian success stories more seriously.
