What is Natural Gas?

Natural gas as it is commonly called, is comprised mostly of Methane (CH4). It is produced by decomposition of organic material in the absence of oxygen. The Earth has vast natural gas deposits and much of them are located within the US. It has been used as a motor fuel for over 100 years. Most homes use it for heating and cooking purposes. When burned, it produces carbon dioxide (CO2) and water as waste. This makes it an extremely environmentally friendly option compared to fossil fuels. It is very stable and less volatile than gasoline.

Why Buy A Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) Vehicle?

• CNG fuel is as low as $1.00/GGE in some areas
  
• If you have natural gas in your home, you can purchase a home fueling unit to fill up and the cost is approximately 65-75 cents per gal (GGE)
• Natural gas vehicles burn 99% emission free and produce carbon dioxide and water vapor exhaust, making them very environmentally friendly
• There are tax incentives available in some states for the purchase of CNG vehicles (please check your state for availability and more info)
• Some states such as CA allow HOV lane solo use with CNG vehicles
• Some cities have special perks for CNG vehicles such as free tolls, free parking, or designated parking
  
• CNG fuel leaves fewer deposits in engines and prolongs their life (some dedicated CNG vehicles have over 500k miles on them and still going strong)
• CNG is more stable than gasoline and requires a 1200 ignition temp vs. gasoline at 800 deg. This answers the question of safety.
• CNG is a domestically harvested fuel and requires minimal processing so no dependence on foreign oil!
• Some property owners have existing natural gas wells on their property so that means free fuel
• With every mile you drive, you are saving money and reducing your carbon footprint
• There may be federal and state incentives available if you use clean air vehicles, such as CNG, in your busines
