$5 Million Mainstream Class Winner:

Edison2 "Very Light Car #98" (Charlottesville, VA)
-Economy: 102.5 MPGe
-Fuel: E85 ethanol
-Boasting the lowest drag coefficient of any car with four wheels tested in the GM wind tunnel and at the Chrysler Proving Grounds, this vehicle demonstrated over 100 MPGe on the test track, and verified in the lab, under stringent testing conditions using a highly innovative small displacement engine. Its low weight of just 830 pounds is a tribute to its use of light weight materials, reduced engine displacement and a host of other weight-saving innovations.
