Oil extraction from sand and shale produces cheaper energy than liquifying natural gas. I'm underwowed.

And where does the energy come from to work the compressor.....?
Compressing gas eh.....so needs some cooling ...further adding to the costs....enjoy the pipe dream suckers.

What great juxtaposition! Read the post just below this one (about soaring natural gas prices)
This could not have been planned to fall that way, but it sure is a long-odds coincidence.

Get a couple hundred thousand vehicles on the road that are fueled by natural gas, and see how long natural gas remains comparitively "cheap,' speaking of the fuel itself, not to mention the taxes.
To: thackney
People are finding more things to do with natural gas, so home heating costs with NG have gone sky high and will get even worse it a lot decide to use it in cars, too. More drilling? Sure, but can they keep up with demand?

... a sleek three-wheeled car that gets 70 miles per gallon, burns fuel that costs $1 per gallon and emits virtually no pollutants... ...Strictly speaking, it's a motorcycle, which allows the company to bypass costly federal crash test and emissions requirements....
Hmmm...

Inside the box is a machine that compresses natural gas. Owners of the American Roadster will connect the compressor to their natural gas line and use it to fuel the car. It takes about 4 1/2 hours to fill the two eight-gallon canisters behind the back seat. They should name it The Flying Turkey. Another EcoFreak loser.

This was in our local paper a couple months ago.
A nice, economical CNG car might be practical, the gas is plentiful and cheap and the potential supply is vast (if the government would step out of the way), but a three wheeler isn't safe.
A better seller I think would be to kit a selection of existing vehicles to run on CNG. There are already fleets owned by large companies and government agencies that run on the stuff, it works. Joe blow doesn't have it because there aren't CNG stations on every corner or even in every town.
But I don't think the stuff you would need to tank up 20 gallons of it in four hours would fit in a lunch box, so there's a hint of snake oil here. We'll see - I could be wrong.
Oh yeah if use of NG as an on highway motor fuel expanded beyond negligible levels, you can bet your ass governments will tax it.
