This is hardly a "new" concept...
CNG is used in 1,000's of government & utility vehicles across the U.S. and is huge Tax incentive in Australia. For the $3,000 subsidy Prius's are given, ANY U.S. car can be converted into CNG. Dahhhhh!
Another Dahhh. It is "one third the price of gasoline" because it is not taxed the same as gasoline....
Here is the "story":
"Behold the car that could displace the Toyota Prius as the eco-ride of choice. The new natural-gas-powered Honda Civic GX uses domestically produced fuel that costs as little as one third the price of gasoline. The American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy calls it the cleanest-burning internal-combustion vehicle on Earth. There are many potential benefits to using natural gas: It’s the cleanest-burning fuel available, with virtually zero emissions; it’s a domestic fuel source; and, when using the home station, fuel costs drop to approximately $1.30 per gallon.
