    Are they just taking his word for it?????

    I have a full sized suv with 500hp that can do 0-60 in 4 seconds and gets 200mpg....can I be on tv? lol

    Bottom line, I totally don't believe it.

    As far-out as the thing sounds, the carbed engine was in the green Mustang, not the 100MPG one.

    on their site (http://www.hp2g.com/) they say E85 has 1/3 the energy of gasoline, so that's how they turn 33mpg into 100mpge....

    You know, I was wondering what the MPGe stood for, I was thinking the E was for ethanol or something. That makes a lot of sense. Well, sense in that's how he's gimmicking this thing.

    With that logic, coal powered trains would be highly efficient too
