WAUSEON - The man who drove his 20-year-old Mustang from Napoleon, Ohio, to Las Vegas and back last year on 39 gallons of fuel will open his first manufacturing facility Monday to allow others to get 110 miles per gallon.
Doug Pelmear, owner of Horse Power Sales.net Inc. and Hp2G LLC, will hold an open house Monday morning in the idle 100,000-square-foot factory he has leased in Wauseon to begin manufacturing his revolutionary engine.
The factory, on the Fulton Industries Inc. campus in Wauseon, will be tooled to initially turn out 20 of Mr. Pelmear's custom engines per day with one shift of 25 workers.

I’ll beleive 100mpg in an genuine automobile when I see it.
Where’s he gonna mount the water-drip bottles?
I believe in 110 mpg engines.
Of course, I also believe in Skittles-crapping unicorns.
Seriesly...this could be hugh!
“I’ll beleive 100mpg in an genuine automobile when I see it.”
I wish I had a picture of a moped to insert here.
Even if mpg could be doubled, the oil companies and the government would make damn sure that the price per gallon of gas would increase 4-6 fold.
VW has a turbo diesel Golf that can do about 90 mpg. Ford has plug in hybrid Escape’s being tested in CA that get 150 mog. I think Opel (GM) had a turbo diesel that was way over 70 mpg. We cannot anger the Saudis because they control the White House and our country.
Calling Mr Tilley.......
I think I’m almost as impressed with the 400 hp/500 ft-lb. Hell even if you can pull off 50 mpg, I’d be tempted to drop that in my Chevelle.
I think that’s what the “tax on miles driven” is about. Buy an economical car and the government will steal the economical right out of it....even though you’ve already paid the high price of the technology. The consumer is going to be the big loser in this industry.
I’d convert my cars in a hearbeat! But to the Socialists in Washington, and their Big Government Country Club GOP bretheren, it’s not about mpg, it’s about controlling and fleecing the We the Sheeple.
Interesting, but is it true?
Horse Power Sales.net Inc., a Napoleon-based company, has created a superior engine that is poised to revolutionize fuel efficiency and auto manufacturing as we know it. Rocket Ventures, a program of the Regional Growth Partnership, is pleased to announce its sponsorship of Horse Power Sales’ HP2g TEAM in the Progressive Automotive X PRIZE – a competition designed to inspire a new generation of viable, super fuel-efficient vehicles. The independent and technology-neutral competition is open to teams from around the world that can design and build production-capable, 100 MPGe (miles per gallon energy equivalent) vehicles that people will want to buy and that meet market needs for price, size, capability, safety and performance.
Through patented technology, Horse Power Sales.net Inc. president Doug Pelmear has discovered a way to allow a standard V8 engine to travel the energy equivalent of 110 mpg on E-85 (Ethanol Blend) fuel. The most striking feature of the HP2g engine is that it’s designed to run in SUV’s and larger family cars.
“As gas prices soar, consumer preference is shifting to cars that are fuel-efficient and buyers are choosing smaller more compact cars. I wanted to throw the concept that a fuel- efficient car has to be small out the window, so I specifically designed my engine for SUVs and larger vehicles,” said Pelmear.
On June 14, Hp2g will be put to a real-world test at the Milan Dragway in Milan, Michigan. Pelmear believes that the results will back-up his fuel-efficiency estimates and will position HP2g as a major contender for the X PRIZE.
“Northwest Ohio is replete with experts in advanced manufacturing and engineering, and Horse Power Sales.net Inc. is no exception. Rocket Ventures was tasked by the state of Ohio to help advance entrepreneurs with innovative technology. Doug certainly fits that mold and we are thrilled to support the Horse Power Sales’ HP2g TEAM. Everyone at Rocket Ventures is looking forward to seeing the results of the race on June 14, “said Dr. Todd Davies, Rocket Ventures business development manager.

Billions of dollars collected from motorists from gasoline taxes, tolls, and registration fees are being diverted by state and local governments into uses that have nothing to do with roads and highways.

Wonder what he could do with my Whippled 2004 Mustang Cobra. No more 551rwhp I would suppose. Not good.
