But how efficient is it?

when will natural gas be reliable to use?

- saw a 350 P/U truck last week powered 100% by propane - in use with a small contractor, a country boy - $1.50 p/g versus 3.50 p/g - sounds like a no brainer.

Ain't the carbon atom great? Everything from gas to cook with to liquid fuels to run the truck, to liquid fuels to run the jet airplane, to graphite for keeping locks working, to diamonds to get her to shut up. For a minute.

God blessed us with that atom.

Not sure what the difference is but United Airlines completed the first commercial flight in the US using natural gas synthetic jet fuel in 2010. I really hope this technology takes off for the environment as well as the fuel surcharge which can nearly double a ticket price for international travel.

20 plus years ago I worked for Waggoner and Brown and Jack Brown asked me to help on one of his pet projects. We built and installed several CNG fueling stations on the West coast, later the company became Pinnacle Gas. we made money but not at the level expected due to the infrastructure required. There was a product around a few years ago that was a small potable compressor that hooked up to your home service. Hook it up over night and refuel, I havent heard much more about it.
