A lot of people in India drive cars that run off of compressed natural gas.



It's totally different, the compression there is just for more effective storage, the power still comes from the gas itself.

In compressed air however it's the compression that contains the power to move the car. Drive an accident and the same power that moves your car will release its power with quite an unpleasant speed.
