Care to share what you’ve heard negative about NG fueled cars?

Aside from the cost to convert to CNG and the current scarcity of CNG fueling stations, I have not heard anything negative, but that doesn’t mean there aren’t negatives.

Aside from the cost to convert to CNG and the current scarcity of CNG fueling stations, I have not heard anything negative, but that doesn’t mean there aren’t negatives.

Off the top of my head:

Positives:
Less expensive per kilojoule
CNG is easily provided for from national resources
CNG ready car available from Honda for those who want that kind of car
Proven in the field by massive fleet operators like UPS
Possibility of fueling up at home (at extra expense) if NG is available at your residence

Minuses:
Extra up-front expense either with Honda or conversion kit.
Good luck finding a mechanic who wants to deal with it.
Trunk space? What trunk space?
Limited range between fill-ups
Lack of stations on the road
Increased time for fill-up, though nowehere near as bad as electric.
