The auto industry is bracing itself for its biggest shift since Henry Ford used an assembly line to roll out Model Ts. The race to develop and implement a new kind of fuel – both environmentally-conscious and affordable ...... Ethanol, bio-diesel, hydrogen, and lithium batteries are all vying for the title of gas killer, but there’s a new contender making a lot of noise – and that contender is…air?

Already some are beginning to eulogize gasoline as a thing of the past – ethanol and other resources are certainly gunning for it. But in this race for the future, a late entrant might have what it takes to win it all. Compressed air systems are easy to manufacture, distribute, and replenish.

Time will tell if running on air will have an entirely new meaning.
