It’s starting. The Mobil station off of the centrally located S. Main Street Exit off of Route 20 added CNG at $2.10/per whatever they measure.

They put it in at the request of the garbage hauler across the street, but nothing stops the UPS trucks or CNG Honda Civics or modified Fords from using it.

The chicken and egg problem is being solved right now.

I read a report on using CNG in the big rigs a few weeks ago and it was mostly positive. The biggest drawback was a reduction in power output by the engine which potentially limits the payload and might prove to be a problem on mountain roads. It should be fine for running up and down the East Coast etc though.

A friend in San Diego converted his pickup to CNG in the late 70's. It ran just fine. The principal drawback was that his truck was a retrofit. The CNG tanks occupied the forward 1/3 of the bed. He obviously found a refueling station in town. The city buses run on CNG.
