That is pretty obviously what he meant! Fossil fuel. Air isn't fuel! Well, it is here. But a lot of gas stations still have free air pumps (a lot don't, because they are jerks, but whatever!).

I foresee powerful private air compressors for sale for cheap in the near future.

Air is fuel. :<
Just cause it's easily accessible doesn't mean it isn't.

Didn't mean to criticize him anyways.

I think it's pretty incredible they can have these out by as soon as 2010. Usually they say something like "IN THE FUTURE/EVENTUALLY".

Edit: Solar powered/Air powered hybrid would be so kickass.

eh, no. Gas companies won't stand for it! ='O

Looks like southern CA just got a little more expensive.

At any rate, how safe would this be in terms of collisions? That is an unimaginably small car, and if we crash -- oo. The frame would bust and I can just imagine the compressed oxygen igniting. Crashing at high speeds when you're compressing the gas even more than usual...I can't help but think that that's pretty dangerous. Where is that tank stored?

I wonder if we could put it up top, and have boxish cars (like the Honda Element), that way the tank would be less likely to...y'know, splode.
