Theres no end to alternative power sources, but till the day the oil runs out (given they have massive factories making petrol and diesel engines) the big car builders wont let us have them

a compressed air motor? new?

Quote:
The pneumatic motor was first applied to the field of transportation in the mid-19th century. Though little is known about the first recorded compressed-air vehicle, it is said that the Frenchmen Andraud and Tessie of Motay ran a car powered by a pneumatic motor on a test track in Chaillot, France, on July 9, 1840. Although the car test was reported to have been successful, the pair didn’t explore further expansion of the design.
