That's what I heard. I would do the same except there arn't any filling stations down here. I've heard that your area has quite a few.

How's the mileage? About the same?

yep we have one in coushatta, and two in bossier. but they will run off of gasoline too. so if the CNG runs empty it just converts over to gasoline.

scott, the mileage is the same, but a gallon of CNG costs less than 2 bucks.

It's also cleaner burning than gasoline making the engine last longer. Back in the 60's I had a friend who's son worked for a natural gas company as a mechanic and he converted most of their vehicles to nat. gas. The engines outlasted the ones that ran on gasoline about 3 to 1 and the cost of the fuel was cheaper.
