What radical technology did Mr. Pelmear introduce? His patents are not fully in place, but he said it mostly is a matter of electronics and precision.

"We redesigned a lot of different things on the [engine] block," the engineer said.

"It's still a rod-and-piston engine; it just has a lot more electronics on it."

Mr. Pelmear said that traditional gas engines operate "at a very low efficiency, like 8 to 10 percent, and our engine is like at 38 percent efficiency."

That is total crap. From WikiPedia Modern gasoline engines have an average efficiency of about 25 to 30% when used to power an automobile.

Sounds like what this "genius" did was take a 1987 carburetted engine and create his own micro processor controlled precision fuel metering. Gee, why didn't the major car companies think of that??!! /sarcasm

There is a reason Mustangs don't get 10 miles per gallon any more... Fuel injection.

Why would anyone look at or believe anything on WikiPedia?
