Transportation fuels (Gasoline and Diesel) are measured in gallons. What is the motivation for measuring natgas in units other than gallon equivalents?

Fifteen states already indicated their support for natural gas gallon equivalents:

Arkansas
California
Colorado
Florida
Georgia
Indiana
Massachusetts
Nevada
New Mexico
North Carolina
Oklahoma
Pennsylvania
South Dakota
Tennessee
Virginia

The rest of the the states have NOT indicated support for natural gas gallon equivalents. If you oppose regulators forcing the metric system on natural gas motor fuel equivalents, click on your state for a sample letter to your governor requesting his/her support.

Thank you Shove-It.

It would seem less confusing to sell natural gas by the same measure. I will admit to not fully understanding how you parcel off a gas by the same metric you do a liquid.

I apologize for getting off-topic, and thank you for the link to information on gasoline gallon equivalents. Adding gasoline gallon equivalents for natural gas and other fuels would be fine.

What is the motivation for measuring natgas in units other than gallon equivalents?

For liquified natural gas, you can use gallons. For compressed natural gas, you need some unit of weight.
