I know the Ford 150 package preps for both CNG or Propane.

Propane does tend to be more expensive than CNG but in most location less expensive than gasoline on a per energy basis.

just for the record...... my Toyota fork lifts were propane fueled back in the early 80’s.

The NG/propane trucks will be for commercial vehicles that leave in the morning and come home again at night to the garage where the refueling capability exists.

CNG is indeed less expensive. But, as soon as CNG vehicles begin to make a presence expect to see road taxes to be tacked on to the price. Btw, I’m old enough to remember when diesel price was about half of gasoline. Also, while CNG has some advantages such as price (for the time being) and a cleaner burn, it has some disadvantages such as less miles per gallon and horsepower per equivalent engine. So, those who haul or pull heavy loads may not be too eager to make the switch.
