How does the mileage you get in your car compare to EPA ratings and other drivers?  Join the MPG Challenge and find out!  Drive a pre-selected course starting and finishing at Huntamer Park, and compare your results with other “competitors.”  Information will be also available that will help all drivers learn what they can do to save gas and get better mileage in their own vehicles.
