How about a cute little car that runs all day on a tank of compressed air? The Indian automobile company Tata plans to make these in America. The tank can be filled by plugging it in while parked, or by an on-board compressor while running. That compressor will run on anything from vegetable oil to gasoline. Range is 60 miles without the using the compressor, or 800 miles while using a tank of fuel. It is suppossedly capable of highway speeds.
The 3-wheel configuration wiil probably classify it as a motorcycle or scooter. The cabin makes it more all-weather friendly than a bike, but it doesn't seem like it has the crash protection of a car. Oh well, you have to give up something. Read a longer article here.

That's kinda cool. A little wierd looking, but cool.
One question though, do you have to use an external air pump to fill the tires, or does it come with one installed. :)
