Second place is a good finish for one UW team. The UW Madison team was among 17 schools to re-engineer a 2005 Chevrolet Equinox, using advanced propulsion technologies to increase fuel efficiency and reduce environmental impact. Challenge X team leader Becky Gunn says their biodiesel hybrid gets about 36 miles per gallon, compared to seventeen mpg for a stock Equinox.
