Also since it's only air it won't be as efficient in cold temperatures. (air loses pressure when in cold temperatures...think of a balloon and how it will shrink or expand depending on the temperature)<BR/><BR/>Also eventually they'd be a tax on the air...so who knows what it would work out to cost. BUT one thing that is a guarantee is that is won't be using fossil fuels!<BR/><BR/>there is a lot more info over at the manufactuer's website or even the "compressed-air car" entry on wikipedia.KatherineLtothePhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02415249113750996883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6525157283293109215.post-24827779363336139502008-07-09T20:47:00.000-04:002008-07-09T20:47:00.000-04:00I was wondering how much money it costs to generat...I was wondering how much money it costs to generate the compressed air. I was thinking of the electricity costs. MKLAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
