P-Series Motor Fuel a Success in Philadelphia

    PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 5 The City of Philadelphia is pleased
to report that Pure Energy's P-Series motor fuel has successfully completed a
demonstration program in Ford Taurus FFV's.  The fuel program launched in June
of 1999 by former Secretary of Energy Bill Richardson and former Mayor of
Philadelphia Edward G. Rendell proved the effectiveness of the P-Series motor
fuel, a new alternative fuel which is made largely from ethanol and is
essentially sulfur free.

    "The successful demonstration of the P-Series fuel reflects the city of
Philadelphia's leadership and commitment to clean air", said Mayor John
F. Street, Mayor of Philadelphia.  Timothy Lynch, Deputy Fleet Manager for the
City of Philadelphia went on to comment, "P-Series performed very well in the
Ford FFV Taurus vehicles.  We are interested in using P-Series and have
purchased FFV's for our fleet."

    In May of 1999 the Department of Energy designated P-Series as an
"Alternative Fuel" under the regulatory authority of the Energy Policy Act of
1992 (EPACT).  The Department of Energy estimates that P-Series fuels have the
potential to replace approximately one billion gallons of gasoline annually by
2005.  The use of P-Series will help the United States reduce pollution from
cars and help fight green house gas emissions.  Princeton University and the
Pure Energy Corporation developed P-Series.

    Irshad Ahmed, President and acting CEO of the Pure Energy Corporation
said, "The performance of P-Series in Philadelphia validates the practical and
commercial force of this fuel.  P-Series fuels are created in the United
States and are not dependent on imported oil.  We applaud the progressive
attitude and leadership the city of Philadelphia has shown in this vital
energy arena."
