Electric Car? How about a Compressed Air Car?

The Toyota Prius has the capability of running all electric in Europe.
There's a big button on the dash to put it in the all electric mode.
That makes them capable of over 100 MPG. Without it we seem to be
averaging a tad over 47. That option is not available in the states
so they could push the warranty up on the battery. In town and out in
the hills it's possible to get much better than the rated 50 MPG, BUT
to use the driving techniques required to get that kind of mileage
would make you the target of everyone else on the road:-))


Not to be a smart ass but wouldn't putting it into all electrice mode make
the car go INFINITY mpg?
