Natural gas powered vehicles are coming. Imagine fueling your car at home from your natural gas line. New technology has made natural gas convenient, local and affordable.
USATODAY Honda prices new tragically
ignored natural-gas Civic.
The most tragically ignored
vehicle in the universe is getting a new name and new price.
It's the natural-gas powered
version of the all-new 2012 Honda Civic Natural Gas. It used to be called the
Civic GX, which was, frankly, a bit confusing as names go. The new Civic
Natural Gas is being priced at $26,155.
Driving a car powered by
natural gas cuts a driver's fuel bill by a third or more. Natural gas burns so
cleanly that it's eligible for car-pool lane access in some states that
otherwise would be available only to electric vehicles. You can refuel a
natural gas in your own garage by tapping into the home's gas line. Plus, there
is an well-established network of natural gas stations -- not as many as for
gasoline, of course, but far more than, say, electric-car recharging stations.

Tampa Bay Area's
First Compressed Natural Gas Station Opens Friday
The Tampa Bay
area's first compressed natural gas opens Oct. 7 in Clearwater.
In an era of solar power, hybrid vehicles and electric cars,
the city is planning on another alternative fuel to help power its fleet and
residents' rides as well.
A compressed
natural gas station to help power new garbage trucks and other vehicles in the
city's fleet, opens Friday (Oct. 7). The station, near the Clearwater Airpark on Hercules Avenue, will also be open
for public use.
It is the third compressed natural
gas filling station in the state. There is one in Ft. Lauderdale and another in
Milton. Another will also open at Tampa
International Airport.

The Honda Civic is currently the only
private use vehicle that comes available with a CNG conversion. Lagille owns
one, but had to travel to Cocoa Beach to get it. He also has a CNG fuel pump in
his garage. Those pumps are small, about the size of a suitcase, and cost
around $3,000, he said.
“I have a Civic with CNG and I just
drove to Kissimmee and back,” Langille said. “You really don’t notice the difference
in everyday driving.””
