Government Motors. What no one mentions is the cost of the energy it takes to compress the natural gas. That being said, LNG is going to be the future for road vehicles and much more - IMO

What no one mentions is the cost of the energy it takes to compress the natural gas. That is part of the CNG price as it is sold. Just like we don't need to discuss the cost of refining crude into gasoline, the cost is built into the price of the fuel.

No one mentions it because it is of course included in the price you pay.

LNG is going to be the future for road vehicles and much more - IMO LNG is not going to be economic for consumers like you and I. It works great for fleet service or long-haul trucking. But the need to either keep the engine running or the tank temperature below -260°F after a few days of non-use is not going be an economic solution for a daily driver.

But I believe you are right about LNG in the long run.
