I hope lots of folks drive these ....to save gasoline so that my 4X4 and my 60’s and 70s muscle cars have plenty.....
I went from a 740il BMW to a Prius about 18 months ago. I loved the BMW and I love the Prius. The technology in both of them is fascinating...but 57 miles per gallon and plenty of comfort wins out for me. One neighbor calls it the ninja car because it sneaks up on him and the other calls it my smugmobile!
The Prius also helps me pay for the gasoline for my wife’s Buick SUV (which will likely be replaced with a Prius next year) and my V8 F150 pick-up!
Will these natural gas cars become mini bombs?
This is an obvious solution to ending the dependence on foreign oil. Plus, you’d never see gasoline process peaking on Memorial Day and Labor Day again.
We have so much natural gas in this country, we’re exporting it via LNG ships. The best solution would be multi-fuel vehicles that would run on either natural gas or gasoline. Currently drilling Marcellus Shale wells is creating a monster over supply of natural gas.
It would be nice to dump the oil price to a level that slowly starved Iran.
when i step on the gas, i expect things to happen NOW, not later
i'll pay for the gas, there's no substitute for cubic inches...
I recently purchased a Honda Civic GX which is natural gas powered. Best car decision I ever made. Fuel is cheap ($1.50 per gal) and I do my part to end dependence on foreign oil. I commute a total of 100 miles a day and get to use the HOV lane which gets me around congestion. The Civic GX has the cleanest burning engine of any vehicle on the road so I am not contributing to the smog/pollution problems that plague my area (the cities that make up the metro area I am in were the 5 worst in air quality in the nation for a period of time last winter). I am looking to buy a home fueling device as well, to further lower my fuel costs. If you live in an area that has a decent CNG fueling infrastructure, I highly recommend a CNG vehicle like the Civic GX.
