That sounds great! You could also fill it at your home with your natural gas. (Just like the Honda Civic GX) A diesel hybrid would also be great but more costly. We should be using natural as that is something that can be done right away.

It is illegal to fill natural gas powered vehicles at home. A decade ago a number of people were converting their trucks over to natural gas. In the process a number of houses blew up. However, I know there is at least one natural gas station in the city I live in.

joe_limon, Honda sells a system called Phill that lets you do exactly that for your Civic GX. Go to http://myphill.com and get informed.

Ok, I informed myself. Yes I guess it is legal to have a home refilling station. But only if it is epa approved. And the cheapest one you can find is $10,000... meaning that if you did want to use natural gas to save money, you would have to make your own illegal refueling station.

Here we use LPG as an alternative as there's access amounts of it, i dont know why some oil rigs burn it off into the atmosphere. some rigs can burn up to a small towns worth of lpg a day, that's not being very efficient, We should use more off it, but apparently the direct injected engines can not use it,. its also handy if you want to go on a long trip you have two fuel options, lpg for cruising and petrol for when in need of a little more power and double the fuel availability.
