Mar 24th 2008 11:41PM 1693 miles per gallon is not that impressive, compared to the 2005 winner of the Shell Eco-marathon. That car attained 12,665 miles per gallon. Shell points out that it would be possible for the Eco-Marathon winner "to travel three times around the equator on the same amount of fuel that Concorde needed to reach the end of the runway."
