I can't imagine why people wouldn't flock to this vehicle, what with the thousands of natural gas filling stations we have located all around the country....

...oh wait...

Never mind...

I have natural gas piped to my house. Add a compressor and I would have more convenience than the gasoline engine for daily use.

There’s 2 where I live...card-lock style.

I’m an advocate for converting fleets to NG...but I would hesitate before buying one for personal use, because of filling availability.

There are filling stations for CNG around; just not as prevalent as gas and diesel. Often they are a bit off the beaten path. Local gas companies often have filling stations. Others are popping up, I have run across 3 in the Milwaukee area. Also you can buy one to be hooked up at your home - I have no idea of the cost. Also some new car dealers have filling stations.

If I was in the market I'd consider it, but I think if I was getting a new pickup I'd rather go with diesel and convert it to run on used vegie oil (conversion kit was $800 last time I looked). If I was in the market for new a SUV I would be more inclined to go CNG.

Well, at least they’re all over Oklahoma, according to #25

Kinda hard to understand the complete absence of them in the Bakken, where they’re flaring off NG for want of an a valuable use for it . . .

The oil companies will fight tooth and nail to PREVENT the development of a refueling infrastructure!

The odds are that there are already 2 to 3 CNG filling stations within 30 miles of your house: http://www.afdc.energy.gov/fuels/natural_gas_locations.html
