The Air Car Nears Completion

torok writes "According to an article on Gizmag, Tata, India's largest automotive manufacturer, has developed a car that runs on compressed air. It costs less than $3 USD to fill a tank on which it can run for 200 to 300km. The car will cost about USD $7,300 and has a top speed of 68mph. About once every 50,000 km you have to change the oil (1 liter of vegetable oil). Initial plans are to produce 3,000 cars per year."

Actually, 1 gallon = 3.78 liters. SInce gas weights substantially less than water (density of about .75), 2.5Kg sounds reasonable (2.8 would be more accurate, but as a rough approximation 2.5 seems OK). You should only correct people when you have a clue.
