That's why I wrote "running cost".

Obviously, for a car like this to be viable, they need a cheap, or at least reasonably priced fuel, and what compressed air may cost right now has little relevance since fill up stations will most likely make their own, using electricity. The 1.5 euro for a fill-up seems a bit low, however.
