Anything that is elastic has the same kind of energy at work. A rubber band can be stretched and then it is ready to do something. You can flatten a solid rubber ball and it will want to bounce back up. You can pull the drawstring of a bow and the work will eventually make the arrow go flying. What can they do.
Well gases are great because they can be compressed.
When the pressure increases, there is an increase in the amount of stored energy. In your car there are shock absorbers. Some shocks have compressed gas in the cylinders. The energy in those cylinders keeps your car from bouncing too much in potholes. Think about wind.
