ALBUQUERQUE, N.M., Feb. 15, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- ENERPULSE, Inc. today announced the addition of another member to the sustainable energy team employing the Pulstar® ultra high-power replacement for spark plugs. The Hybrid Haven, of Petaluma, CA, has joined the ranks of the dedicated to reduce our dependence on foreign oil and clean up automotive emissions.

Ed Rueda, CEO of The Hybrid Haven, states, "The Hybrid Haven is excited to be a part of the growing sustainable energy team employing the Pulstar® ultra high-power replacement for spark plugs. After performing our own tests with the Pulstar® pulse plugs we saw a 15% improvement in MPG and were more than convinced with the improved performance and operating quality of our Prius test vehicle. The continued use of these revolutionary pulse plugs will be a number-one recommendation for our loyal customer base of hybrid owners."

The Pulstar® pulse plug technology employs intelligent energy management to improve the automotive ignition system electrical-to-plasma transfer efficiency from less than 1% to over 50%. This significant increase couples more ignition energy to the fuel charge, improving combustion efficiency and reducing fuel consumption and total emissions by as much as 10%. Constructed to look like a spark plug, Pulstar® incorporates a current peaking capacitor to discharge over 1,000,000 watts of ignition power as compared to the 50 watts from a conventional spark plug.

Lou Camilli, President and founder of ENERPULSE, speaks of the growing list of environmentalists in the automotive aftermarket as an indication of a "call to arms" in the effort to improve our environment, "What makes this a sustainable effort is that the Pulstar® customer is saving money from improved fuel economy while at the same time reducing greenhouse gasses."
