Peugeot plans on marketing a car in 2016 that will/can run on compressed air about 45% of the time enabling it to achieve extremely good fuel efficiency. It uses a standard 3 cylinder 4-stroke gasoline engine as its main powerplant but also employs a hydraulic pump that pumps hydraulic fluid against air stored in tanks underneath the vehicle anytime the brakes are applied or anytime the vehicle is simply slowed down by backing off on the accelerator. This hydraulic fluid with air pressure accumulated behind it is then employed to drive a hydraulic motor in the drive train to either completely power the vehicle or be used in a combined mode with the little gasser. At speeds below 43mph, with a full charge of air, it can run for about 50 minutes on air over hydraulics alone. At least it won't have battery problems but there will probably be a few glitches??? About 100 engineers have been working in secret on this for several years and they have 4 prototypes out running around. Mileage claims run from 80mpg to 143mpg. I doubt that it would do me very much good because I don't even slow down one time going across the entire State of Ohio. (;>))

How can I explain the sensation and exhilaration I feel when I turn the key and hear the engine come to life (most
