This contraption was built by the Cal Poly Supermileage Team, and on three wheels, will deliver 13 times more than the 230mpg Volt and will boast of the best fuel economy.  The team is currently working on two cars, the Black Widow which won the 2007 Eco-Marathon and another car that will be used for the competitions Urban Concept category.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><br \/>\nSince its creation in 2005, the Black Widow has evolved with its fuel economy being raised from 861 mpg to the current 2752.3 mpg.
