Two things kill compressed air cars:


Air compressors are not particularly efficient devices - around 25% for commercial compressors.

Air tanks are very heavy for the energy they store.


Gasoline and diesel did not come to dominate because of some deep dark conspiracy. They simply work better and always have.
