According to proponents, natural gas is cheaper and
cleaner than gasoline, and it's not derived from
foreign oil. Of course, if demand for natural gas
increased drastically, would it still be so cheap?
Regardless, interest in natural gas vehicles isn't
very strong. Part of the problem is the lack of
refueling stations. There are only about 1,000 natural
gas stations across the US. However, home refueling
stations, for instance, could alleviate this problem
much the same way standard plugs will help plug-in
hybrids overcome limited plug-in stations.
Add the fuel economy of hybrid
cars, or plug-in hybrids, and natural gas vehicle
refueling would be much less common.
Can hybrid vehicles help sell natural gas as a
transportation fuel?

that's a fair point cliff, but they've been available here in california for while and they even advertise them now and then, but i've heard they've been a hard sell.
how do you fill up? is there a CNG station near you? do you have a home fueling station?

Hi!
I believe interest in the Civic NG car has been very high. BUT, there haven't been that many sold, because, until recently, Honda would only allow them to be sold in CA and NY.
Recently, I have been able to buy one, (WI) and they have been available nationwide. BUT, the nearest dealer that will service my car is still NY. So, you can only get service in CA or NY.
No one will buy these cars in big numbers until ALL Honda dealers, and also indy garages, will be able to service them.
