Compressed air is inefficient to create and transport - you lose a lot in heat, as anybody who has pumped up a bicycle tyre with a hand pump can tell you. It can be used as storage but the energy density is pretty poor.
There was a mob a while back trying to push compressed air for low emission cars but you couldn't get very far on a tank and you had to use truly frightening pressures.
