Don't we get most of our natural gas from Canada? No thanks.

The car is clearly not your primary car.

The car clearly wouldn't be my second car either.

So the owner hack on these will be a coupler for a
grill tank, and a chip mod for propane vs. NG, which
now puts the car within range of zillions of retail
stores with tank refill/exchange.

This is a fallacy!!!

I'm pretty good...but even I, couldn't keep up with fuel production.

How about a retrofit gas burner that takes those propane tanks at every service station? 8 hours to fill up? That should be a requirement for truckers, not commuters...

I was in Macedonia this past summer, and most of the taxis ran on natural gas. Also, many people modified their own vehicles to run on natural gas. Gasoline there was about $5/gal. but the filling stations all had a pump for natural gas. Locally, I think Columbia natural gas company was providing some of their employees with this kind of vehicle.
