Many people don't realize that one gallon of gasoline in their tanks represents something like three gallons of crude oil pumped out of the ground. And the efficiency of a car engine using that gasoline, is abysmal.george.whttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10893495384863805805noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14072474.post-62124576419369492832008-01-06T11:11:00.000-05:002008-01-06T11:11:00.000-05:00i hope that would be commercialized for world cons...i hope that would be commercialized for world consumerAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14072474.post-30444090450746593042008-01-06T09:32:00.000-05:002008-01-06T09:32:00.000-05:00Um, it takes energy to compress that air.
