Recent tests performed at Enerpulse, Inc. demonstrate that its newly released product, Pulstar™ improved fuel economy on 2005 and 2007 Toyota Prius hybrid vehicles by 6 percent to 8 percent, or approximately three miles per gallon. These results were on vehicles that already get more than 50 miles per gallon of gasoline. The full results are available at www.pulstarplug.com/tresults/05prius.html. In addition to the fuel economy improvements in the Toyota Prius, an acceleration test (from 40 to 80 miles per hour) was conducted, which resulted in improved acceleration of 5 percent as compared to the factory-installed spark plugs. This improvement is a benefit to Prius owners, because performance is one of the compromises made for outstanding fuel economy. The 3 mpg increase produced by Pulstar means that over its life of approximately four years, carbon dioxide greenhouse gas emissions will be reduced by 1,344 pounds, or over half a ton making it evident that even small changes, like changing your spark plugs, can translate into big differences for the planet.
