Bring on CNG/LPG.....
Here is the scoop on converting your ride now....note that in Utah, they are way out front in this with CNG stations spread out, and companies that take your car/truck and convert it over to run on either gasoline or CNG. (note the number of companies that do conversions in that sparsely populated state)

Also note that the press has done a lousy job of telling folks that there is a huge tax credit to convert paying from half to 80% of the cost to do it. (notes in above article)
" Compressed natural gas systems offered by CNG Interstate are after market performance parts and do not change your vehicles current fuel injection system, but most importantly our kits do not tamper with the Federal Emission Standards. The dual fuel setup will allow your vehicle to run on gasoline or natural gas with the flip of a switch."

How bout LPG???
"While generic propane conversions used to be common fare for a trained mechanic (generally not for the DIY-er, though), most four-stroke engines (carbureted and fuel-injected) can still be converted to operate on propane when a certified technician installs the correct kit. And propane’s minimal sooting, owing to its low carbon content, means increased engine life, fewer oil changes and longer spark plug life. "

"However, due to increased
regulations from the EPA, there are very few propane conversion kits for U.S. street passenger vehicles available today.
It has actually been a much more popular choice in Europe and other countries due to less stringent regulations and higher petrol prices. Even though propane powered engines offer cleaner emissions along with 10 to 15 percent less carbon dioxide, 20 percent less carbon monoxide and 50 to 60 percent less hydrocarbons and nitric oxide, tighter emissions regulations have changed the way conversion companies can do business. "
>>Other countries are far ahead of us in use of CNG/LPG for both business and personal use.
Did you know that you can by a Honda car in the USA that has this fuel use capability? Not many know because the press is too busy hyping the royal wedding kiss....
