In reading back over the thread, trying to see if I missed something since the numbers seem so off, I find from you:

I'm shooting for a sell to the public price of $1.00/gallon for my own station. But for my own usage, i'm expecting the price to be around 50-60 cents per gallon. I'll find out soon how that's going to work out. My output pressure is going to be 3,600 #.

and

Who's talking about consumers? Wasn't the topic about long haul truckers and trucking companies? They will be able to get price differentials over and above what an ordinary consumer will be able to manage. To my knowledge, consumers don't use LIQUID natural gas. They use COMPRESSED natural gas. This topic is NOT ABOUT consumers.

If Diesel is $4.00/ Gallon, and the spot market is around 36 cents / gallon, then it is plausible for long haul trucking companies to realize a 10/1 savings, (Optimistically) in fuel costs. (Under current market conditions.)

So are you talking about LNG or CNG with your price numbers?
