But, I would be on $2 LNG lasting a lot longer than $2.7 gasoline.

I think the more useful measure would be how far you could travel on say $50 of fuel. Most people have a pretty good idea of how much it takes to fill their car and how many miles they normally can get on a tank.

You need to compare the energy/dollar content.

You don't get the same tank with gasoline, LNG or CNG.

That’s why we were examining “energy content”. This should be a good indicator of how far you can travel, unless a gas vs natgas engine has a vastly different efficiency factor.

BTW, with gasoline at $3, the numbers tighten up quite a bit, at 37kBtu vs 35kBtu.
