TIRED OF HIGH GAS PRICES? RUN YOUR CAR ON AIR…...Updated!

RIGHT! you say…...

Well, it’s “compressed” air…..but that’s what pushes the pistons in the engine.

Yes, you have to compress the air - but that’s a lot cheaper than burning gasoline. How cheap?

Most importantly, it is incredibly cost-efficient to run – according to the designers, it costs less than one Euro per 100Km (about a tenth that of a petrol car). Its mileage is about double that of the most advanced electric car (200 to 300 km or 10 hours of driving), a factor which makes a perfect choice in cities where the 80% of motorists drive at less than 60Km. The car has a top speed of 68 mph.

Probably not right for driving to Nebraska and back (although there’s a compressor on board for longer trips), but as a commuter car, this looks to be a real winner. Obviously, the designers are going to put the best face on it…..you’ll need to READ THE WHOLE THING

UPDATE: Concerns have been raised about the high-pressure air tank and what would happen in a crash. REASSURANCE IS HERE
