You're right, but I think we're still five to ten years from having enough fueling stations for most people to feel comfortable buying one.
I just looked at the chart and the closest one to my house is about 40 miles away; I wouldn't expect to have one on every corner, but I would at least like the option of being able to fill up when I'm out running errands and not have to plan a special trip to do it.

I think we're still five to ten years from having enough fueling stations for most people to feel comfortable buying one. I suspect even longer. But it won't be MOST people's purchase for a much longer time. However, if 10~20% of our transportation fuel consumption moves to Natural Gas, our nation would be much more secure along with many more American jobs.

That chart is probably out of date, given how fast CNG stations are being installed.
Secondly, this is how things work in a free market, with no taxpayer dollars to support installing these everywhere, like solar panels or windmills.
The more stations, the more vehicles. The more vehicles, the more stations. It will grow organically.
