    There was an analysis of compressed air energy storage on The Oil Drum some time ago. Here it is: http://canada.theoildrum.com/node/3473

    The executive summary is that it is a really inefficient way of storing energy. Even a theoretically perfect single-stage engine will only be able to use 52% of the stored energy. Things get better with multi-stage engines, but it still really sucks.

    Not to take away from the original post. That car is fugly.
