You've heard of hybrids, electric cars and vehicles that can run on vegetable oil. But of all the contenders in the quest to produce the ultimate fuel-efficient car, this could be the first one to let you say, "fill it up with air."

The concept is similar to how a locomotive works, except compressed air, not steam, moves the engine's pistons.    (source: zeropollutionmotors.us)
