Hope you don't mind but I found a good article with a fair amount of info:
From: http://uk.reuters.com/article/motoringAutoNews/idUK153004+22-Apr-2009+MW20090422
"DECATUR, IN, Apr 22 (MARKET WIRE) --
President/CEO Peter Collorafi of Revenge Designs Inc. (PINKSHEETS: RVGD),
a specialty car designer and production assembler, is pleased to announce
that an agreement has been signed with Mr. Douglas Pelmear, President/CEO
of HP2G LLC, an Ohio based engine company with a 110 MPGe engine.
HP2G LLC has designed, developed and built a proprietary V-8 engine called
the HP2g. It can achieve 110 MPGe (miles per gallon equivalent) in fuel
economy while posting carbon emissions of less than 200g/mi and generating
400 horse power and 500 lb-ft of torque. Under the terms of their
agreement, HP2G LLC and Revenge will execute a Master Installation
Agreement making Revenge the sole and exclusive Certified Installation
Centers in the United States for the installation of HP2g engines for
aftermarket purchasers. Revenge will be the sole and exclusive Certified
Installation Center for HP2G's HP2g engine for those clients. Further,
satellite centers will be established.
Douglas Pelmear, President and CEO of HP2G LLC, has been spotlighted by
the Progressive Automotive X PRIZE competition and has been interviewed by
national, regional, local and international press regarding the HP2g. He
has exhibited the HP2g, by invitation, at the North American International
Auto Show in Detroit, the Washington, D.C. auto show sponsored by the
Department of Energy and last year's Specialty Equipment Market
Association (SEMA) show in Las Vegas where he won the Green Zone Award.
When discussing the engine, Mr. Pelmear states,
"This V-8 engine operates on E-85 fuel instead of gasoline. Coupling that
with the use of more precise tolerances and manufacturing techniques, we
decrease heat as well as energy loss and increase the efficiency of the
internal combustion engine.
"There are nearly 250 million cars and light trucks operating today in
North America. The global market holds well over twice this amount. North
American new car sales vary between 15 million and 17 million per year.
The vast majority of these vehicles use gasoline at a rate of between 15
and 40 miles per gallon (MPG). Fuel costs and fuel economy in vehicles
have been affected by a number of factors. Up until now, the automotive
companies, energy suppliers and national governments have moved at
glacial speed to create fuel efficient vehicles, or improved energy and
fuel sources."
Revenge Designs and HP2G are very excited to be making real-time advances
in fuel-efficiency and offering the world a practical fuel option without
compromising the consumers' needs.
Both Mr. Pelmear and Mr. Collorafi are pleased to also announce the first
production vehicles to utilize the HP2g 110 MPGe V-8 engine will be from
Revenge Designs and are currently in the build stages. The all-new Revenge
Verde Super Car will be totally designed in-house. The Revenge Verde Super
Car makes extensive use of carbon fiber and has a chromoly tubular chassis
design as well as a wheel base similar to the Ferrari GTB in order to
allow for considerable leg and head room. The mid-engine compartment is
specifically designed for the HP2g engine technology.
The production of the GTM-R Super Car will not continue. It is simply not
feasible to produce a vehicle that is not entirely designed in-house and
requires such a considerable amount of reconstruction and design.
With several months into the development of the Verde Super Car, Revenge
Designs hopes to release the new Verde Super Car at the LA International
Auto Show in December 2009. Revenge intends to display two versions of the
Verde; one left-hand and one right-hand drive with the purpose of
releasing the vehicles to the world market and not simply the American
stage. Following the Revenge Verde Super Car, the company will be
producing a Super Saloon vehicle in late 2010 that will accommodate the
four-door passenger car market.
Over the past eight weeks Mr. Collorafi has met with several Government
and State officials to discuss a number of different funding options from
a variety of entities. One of the options includes the availability of
financing from the Federal Stimulus Package. Mr. Collorafi is also working
with various Department of Development officials in a number of states to
include employee based incentives, tax incentives, and research and
development funding into the finance package.
The site for the new assembly plant, the Revenge Certified Installation
Center and Testing Facility, will create employment opportunities and
economic assistance to whatever community is chosen to be the home of the
new location. The current Northern Indiana location will be maintained for
management and R&D purposes; however, the entire Revenge Team is very
excited to be branching out to a new location and start building.
Mr. Pelmear has informed Revenge Designs that he has over three dozen
patents near completion and production should commence mid-year 2009. Both
Pelmear and Collorafi agree that, no matter where the plant locations are
or how quickly production begins, the "the true win is seeing
fuel-efficient production vehicles driving down the roads that have helped
put Americans back to work."
In summary, Mr. Collorafi states, "I must commend Mr. Pelmear for his
relentless fight to strive for a clean air environment now. His ability to
release his proven technology now, in 2009, is making improvements for not
only our generation but for our children and generations to come."
Revenge Designs Inc., a specialty car designer and production assembler,
is headquartered in a facility in North Eastern Indiana. Mr. Peter
Collorafi is a car designer from Queensland, Australia. Mr. Collorafi has
been designing and installing custom modifications for factory produced
vehicles since 1980. Their products include the Revenge Solstice, Revenge
Ridgeline, and the award winning Revenge GTO. For more information on the

I don't know if the zoomlife.com article is accurate or not, but the last paragraph piqued my interest.
Specifically this line: "The huge mileage claims of the HP2g are not from the ethanol, of course, but the hydrogen injection."

Certainly not Paul...I welcome all positive contributions to my threads.
We are all here for information...the more the better.
Good eye there Juan, I missed that hydrogen aspect.
If it runs on ethanol, it stands to reason that it will run on methane also.
Regards...
Nice find Cap.
OUR job is to make sure the present claims are real and an industry smear campaign (such as what happened in the Tucker automobile saga) doesn't kill this business.
Strange, we (in the USA) pour BILLIONS into GM that obviously from history has not done their best to further innovation and economy in their products and farms out more and more jobs to foreign countries each year, yet this small company with a few forward thinking investors is not getting such "gifts" when it can be putting americans back to work and raising the standard of living (both economically and ecologically) for us all.
Curiouser and curiouser.
I couldn't agree more excom...if the PTB were on the up and up they would clean out all the crap from all the GM plants and move that operation in PDQ.

Great job Cap-Z-ro!!! This is very good news and a step in the right direction for gasoline engine technology! Great find.
Stay away from "X prize".
Sorry I couldnt leave this alone. If you take a vechicle like this HPV (Human Powered Vehicle Record Holder),http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jQwpGLCAMm4 even if it was twice the size, gave it four wheels, put in it a 3 way hybrid (gas/solar/air), and use a heat cycle ceramic engine, the car would get well over 2000 mpg, this vehicle on 250 watts would screw ass, and with a usefull load off 200 pounds fueled up would travel right up BP's ass and our GOV suks SHIT!!!! Cuz u cant buy it, but i got 1 ;D
sorry link didnt work, its a fizzx gov xperiment gon bad http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jQwpGLCAMm4

Link for the video did not work. What exactly do you have?
I can see that link alright. An aero recumbent bike being sprinted to 130kph. A good rider can do 90kph for an hour, where the regular road bike record stands under 50kph. One third or one quarter of the resistance or road bike?
These recumbents of course are not practical in traffic.
I once did calculations to take such a rocket cigar bike, and add riders and length to it. Same frontal surface, but longer and more power. Cruise speeds could come in to race car range with a couple of fit bike riders sharing a cummute down the super bicycle highway. Then, when you're doing such speeds, make them monorail carts with some Maglev like friction reductions, but plenty of mechanical traction. Then, the sun low before and after work, near vertical solar panels, making the vehical look triangular in frontal area while having an open top, would do the job just fine. The monorail tracks are to be routed such that the morning and evening sun is optimally used.
THEN, why put the panels on the cart, when the monorail has all this spare space? The roof over the monorail would be one big solar panel, each panel aimed perfectly at the sun. No sun? The panels charge batteries outside rush hours.
I saw this clip of a mini-car on hydrogen in Japan, doing 80km in hour hour, on one litre of water. They claimed some smart hydrogen extraction process to make this happen. Tank any kind of water, turn the key and drive. All it takes is a more efficient way to split water than commonly used. Ideal, not to even have any hydrogen stored in your car other than is being burned as you're drivin.
