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.

That's the big question for me. I'm more interested in how far I can go per dollar than BTUs.

For instance, yesterday I paid $2.57 to fill up my tank and I know that I'm getting just over 25 MPG, so it will cost me about $0.10 in gas per mile. What's that cost with NG?
