This is something we could really benefit from right about now:

MDI has spent 14 years engineering a car that runs on compressed air and they have released the models they expect to go into production as soon as their factories are installed.  A tank of compressed air will run for just over 100 miles depending on the model and it only takes about 4 minutes to recharge the tank. The only fuel the MDI car requires is oil- vegetable oil that is, and it only has to be changed every 30,000 miles.

You think that is revolutionary? Here's the best part for us southerners...the temperature of the air expelled from the engine is 0 to 15 degrees below zero- meaning the engine's by product can be used for air conditioning.

So now I know you're thinking, "the car must go, what 30 mph?"- Guess again, it can get up to speeds of 130 mph. "The vehicles do not have normal speed gauges. Instead, they will have a small computer screenthat shows the speed and engine revolutions. The system allows for infinite possibilities such as GSM telephone systems, GPS satellite tracking systems, programs for delivery people, emergency systems, internet connections, voice recognitions, map presentation, traffic information... in three words: the future is now. " - MDI.

 Check them out for yourself and heck get on the waiting list to buy one while you're at it.
