Competition Results The annual SAE Supermileage Competition takes place each June at the Eaton semi-truck proving grounds in Marshall, MI. The competition is a two day event. On the first day, all cars must pass a technical inspection to ensure compliance with rules including minimum construction and drivability standards. After passing tech, teams are allowed practice runs. The second day is the actual competition. Six laps around the 1.6 mile track constitute one run from which mileage is extrapolated. Teams are allowed as many runs as they can successfully complete in one day, with the team's best run constituting their score. All vehicles must maintain an average speed of 15 mph and must thus complete the run in 38 minutes, 24 seconds. Any teams that go over this score incur a penalty substracting mileage from their score. Drivers of the car must weigh at least 130 lbs (although they can be weighted down) and the cars must run off of iso-octane. More information about the competition, including rules, can be found on the SAE Webpage.   2005 Results (Collegiate Top Five) Place School Mileage (mpg) 1 University of British Columbia 1608.42 2 Ecole de Technologie Superieure 1584.45 3 Ivy Tech State College - Indiana 1529.35 4 University of California, Berkeley 772.78 5 Laval University, Quebec 769.06 2004 Results (Collegiate Top Five) Place School Mileage (mpg) 1 University of British Columbia 1747.47 2 California State University Los Angeles 1615.55 3 Rose-Hulman 1194.10 4 Ivy Tech (Not for competition) 1062.90 5 École Technologie Superior 1031.52 2003 Results (Collegiate Top Five) Place School Mileage (mpg) 1 University of British Columbia 927.96 2 University of California, Berkeley 837.75 3 École Technologie Superior 747.42 4 Ryerson University 740.05 5 California State University, Chico 732.19 2002 Results (Collegiate Top Five) Place School Mileage (mpg) 1 University of California, Berkeley 1068.69 2 Dalhousie University 972.91 3 University of Massachusetts, Amherst 968.47 4 University of British Columbia 895.39 5 California State University, Chico 855.45 Contact Cal SMV © 2004 - Berkeley, CA Contact Webmaster
