Mileage Increase 50-100 Percent While Going Green with Your Vehicle
Drivers struggling with high gas prices may have another option the next time they hit the road: a new system that can turn a vehicle into a hydrogen hybrid which dramatically boosts a vehicle's gas mileage.

The cars are modified with a unique fuel cell system -- a computer that communicates with the car's computer -- to harness the power of hydrogen. By using electricity from the battery, the fuel cell separates water into oxygen and hydrogen and blends the hydrogen with the fuel. This adds power to the fuel so each gallon of gas does more work and lasts longer. On a 3000-mile cross country test drive, a car equipped with the hydrogen hybrid system averaged 55 miles to the gallon.
After two years of research and development, Pro Motors Group has partnered with 4 Wheel Parts to offer nationwide installation of the hydrogen hybrid system. To date, about 250 to 300 cars have been converted.
