BYU engineering students celebrate a big international win for their fuel-efficient vehicle that can travel nearly 2,000 miles on a gallon of gas.

The BYU vehicle's best attempt at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway was 1,915.83 mpg. The second-place team from Brazil achieved 1,806.1 mpg, while the third-place team from Canada finished with a mpg of 1,649.87.

"I give them ideas. I give them my best thoughts, but I don't touch the car," said Dale Tree, the mechanical engineering department chairman. "These are some of the best students in the world. They're just really good." "This is like sports for engineers," he said. "Each component of the car is something that they're going to go out now in a real car and work on and make better."
