It should work fine although the seals will deteriorate over time. They have to be cheaper than batteries. There would be a lot less toxic runoff from mining and manufacturing. I believe the S. Africans fielded a pure compressed car a few years ago. I wonder if they are related.

Mark my words. The next war won't be fought over oil. It will be fought over air.
