The fill at home kits cost around $5k for installation, but they have multiple problems. Takes all night to fill your tank, homeowners insurance issues, transportation fuel tax issues, upkeep and maintenance issues. Adding a bi-fuel conversion kit to a car or truck DOES make great economic sense, but a filling station is a crucial part of the equation.

The payback time required to make my car bi-fuel (gasoline and/or CNG) is about 3 years. Add to that the reduced maintenance costs due to cleaner burning CNG and added engine life and it makes sense...as long as I have a place to fill it up.

Oh wow, I thought the cost of the kit was 500.00 not 5K but then we don’t have natural gas and don’t live anywhere near a state that even sells the Honda model.

I’m for drilling for oil on federal land and paying down our debt with the revenue that would generate.
