If natural gas fuel saved you, say, $2 per gallon, then you'd have to drive 124,020 highway miles or 82,680 city miles to break even on fuel costs against the $6,890 purchase price premium.

But, that's an awful lot of oil that we WON'T be importing, so it's a national security investment too. Plus, we have to admit that the price of the natural gas conversion would drop drastically because of sales volume. Yes, Pickens is trying to make money, but it still makes a heck of a lot of sense.

I say Drill Baby Drill in Alaska. Then we don't have to import it and be dependent on third world countries.
