"Revenge" Comes to Van Wert!

Our local newspaper, the Van Wert Times-Bulletin (www.timesbulletin.com), is reporting today that automotive design corporation Revenge Designs will build a new sedan in Van Wert, Ohio based around the radical and highly efficient new motor designed by Doug Pelmear. 

This is an E85-only engine that is reported to get 110 miles per gallon. The Times Bulletin reports that Pelmear "has placed one of his motors inside a 1986 Ford Mustang, qualifying for the multi-million dollar first prize in the Progressive Automobile X Prize by averaging 110 miles per gallon. Pelmear quickly pointed out, however, that this is not some gas-sipping motor that will be impractical for general use. It performed at that mileage level while still producing 400 horsepower and 500 ft.-lbs of torque."

Those are amazing figures, and great news for our area of the world!
