You realize how much harder it is to store, transfer, transport, and keep NG contained, in a situation like a car dont you???? You get a fuel leak its not a drip on the ground its a highly combustiable vapor cloud with the rest of the tank under pressure. Again just like everything else, there is only about 2/3 the BTU in CNG compared to a equal Volume of traditional motor fuel so you will only get 2/3 the work outta that volume. Not to mention with it requiring a 1/3 or so more fuel to go a given distance, you will get a 1/3 more emissions as well.
But you tree huggers are trying to stop development of 2 of largest NG fields in the world right here in the USA. NY state still has the drillers locked out by and large, and fools trying to stop it in PA.
So no Despite what T-boone has told you on his commercials on the TV NG is not the way of the future (yet). Not saying its not suitable for some transitional uses but its not a good replacement for Gasoline either
