The beauty of a nat gas car (could be) having a home refueling station.

My house has nat gas, and Honda builds a nice nat gas Civic right here in Greensburg, Indiana. Of course there is quite a price premium on the vehicle itself ($4 to 5 grand) to amortize over the life of the car. And since I’m retired I don’t drive all that many miles.

And the cost of the home compressor unit is high and the reliability reports are not good.

But I continue to monitor the situation. Perhaps someday.

Myself as well.

I think I would be more interested in a dual fuel truck, one that would let me use CNG but also gasoline or diesel. I would not mind giving up truck bed space for the added CNG tank.

Nat gas at home would have to have a compressor either at home or in the car. Nat gas at atmospheric pressure ain’t gonna get you very far.
