Hello Bob, and great move, giving the Air Car it's own
thread. Might attract a few experts.
Due to the posting material, I changed it back to AUTO
as it wasn't all about Air powering a vehicle.

Me either, and when I did, it was choking coughing and outta
gas or petrol as you call it.
Don't waste time checking out TATA Motors, Bob. Checkout
MDI and they have lots of demostrations and concept cars
they have tested to get to this model TATA has contracted for.

I am sure you will remember, as do many readers that diesel was
cheap and less expensive to produce, but now due to more vehicles
running on diesel the price shot up, along with regular gas <petrol>
and I will not even tell you the prices they ask in the marinas
for those powerboaters with petrol powered boats. I see the for sales
and Jet boats are a plenty.
BTW ..the Volt from GM ...is from the Chevrolet Division.
