Default Ford bobcat V8: 500hp from ethanol injection?

http://www.motorauthority.com/ford-l...t-mileage.html

Seems kind of fishy to me, but they say it could boost efficiency by 10% - not that that's saying a lot for a big V8. But they also say it gets 'diesel-like economy' - which sounds like marketing speak to me.

I guess I'll have to see it to believe it.
