As for the $5/gal gas, here is a link to that:

So has air powered engines been discussed? I know there is a British manufacture of compressed air cars, and they do work! Thing is, there is a small gas motor that continually compresses a pressure tank to power the engine, so there is no getting away from burning Dino-Juice!

Doesn't matter much to me, though--I pedal to/from work and most errand-type trips, logged more miles on the bike last year than the car, so I tend to burn carbs, not carbon.
