So like I asked what CNG car do you own. None

What CNG company are you working for? Must be some to push this so hard

So I gotta drive to the ghetto to a heating and air conditioning shop the one place in Indianapolis to get CNG for a car that I would have to pay way more for and be obscure to find a repair facility to work on it? So where are the NICE stations in nice parts of town I would not have to make a special trip to fill my obscure car?

So you are telling me driving a 220 mile range civic cNG (Honda estimate) I am NOT gonna have to plan my route? I can just jump in drive on ANY route I want and have no problem finding a 24/7 fueling station open to the public with CNG? If that is true then sure it's a realistic idea.

I don't know why you need to make this into a ******* match. I have asked questions and all you are doing is quoting Stuff from CNG websites where 1 person in the US has driven on a likely very calculate and planned route from coast to coast.

You won't tell us about your CNG fleet, or personal vehicle or where all this availability is. Just looking up fueling stations on the CNG station website and copying and pasting about a couple that drove there car across the country.

Then you just have to bash hybrids saying they are just prolonging the gouging. Not really people that buy them are trying to do something. Very few people need a giant escalade that actually own one and could easily fit there family in a normal car like familys did years ago.

Funny your fingers do lot of talking but somehow they can't use Google or fill in URL that I provided with specific cng information. CNG Non-Believers who refuse facts end up being well-inforrmed non-believers . . . LOL! :willy_nil

ONLY vehicles I drive are cng capable. Bi-fuel Chevy Cavalier that I bought in Atlanta, GA for $7,200 used that gets 30 mpg gasoline and 33 mpg cng highway and 25 mpg city. So while running public $1.19/gge cng in KS that works out to 3.6 CENTS a mile ; while in OK on $0.90/gge cng that is 2.7 CENTS a mile!! With $3.70/gal gasoline that equates to 137 mpg in OK - - find me a "Pee-On-Us" that gets 137 mpg while driving in Oklahoma !! Ha, Ha!! :lol:

Also have bi-fuel Chevy C2500 pickup that I bought for $9K used in California that gets 17 mpg highway on either fuel. While on KS public cng at $1.19/gge that works out to 7 CENTS a mile with a 6.0 ltr v8 - - - yep that is NEARLY SAME as Pee-On-Us getting 55 mpg on $3.70/gal gasoline which is 6.7 cents per mile. I'd choose my bi-fuel Cavvie or pickup any day of the week over Pee-On-Us (costing $28K to $30K new)!!

Back to your Non-Believing in Indianapolis, IN there are 3 total public cng pumps (remember I showed you www.cngprices.com)!! Greenes Auto Service and Citizens Gas/Coke Utility which are both at $1.00/gge for CNG!!! 3rd station in Indy is KAKCO at $2.15/gge. Driving a Honda Civic NG in Indy at 40 mpg highway using $1/gge cng works out to 2.5 CENTS Per Mile!!! That's almost 3 times better than a Pee-On-Us driving in Indy!!

Driving cng does take smart driving to watch the fuel gauge and plan trips when public cng stations are sparse. Other cng owners have own cng pump at house and rarely even need public cng stations at all.

End of cng lesson . . . . Believe or Don't . . . . Facts are Facts!
When Columbus took off to sail the world, some people kept believing that "World Is Flat" and Columbus would just fall off the edge!! Ha, Ha!! :lol:

OP I'd find yourself a civic or a corolla. You can drive it till the wheels fall off and save a lot on gas.

Parts for any diesel volkswagen are going to eat up your paychecks real quick.


Side note: I'm glad I'm not the only one sick of reading about how ******* awesome CNG vehicles are. CNG guy can you take a chill pill or something? It seems like every other thread I've read this week has 5 or 6 paragraphs of your CNG vehicle pimping. WE GET IT! You are an CNG Vechile enthusiast! No need to take up every thread you enter with a full page about it. ;)

Consumer Reports is wrong most of the time.For example,they say Jeep Grand Cherokees have engine problems and they don't.Subarus are expensive to fix when they break,replace the timing belt on time to prevent the $2,000.00 to $3,000.00 fix replacing bent valves when the timing belt breaks.VW and Audi's reliability has gone down the toilet.The 1.8T is a pile of junk,there are 4 differant ones.With VWs,need the 3 letter code on the valve cover to get parts.Just went through this on Thursday just for an oil filter for a 2003 Passat with the 1.8T.Book showed two differant oil filters out of a parts plus oil filter catalog.

Consumer Reports only give good reviews to the folks that pay them...

Basically, they try to act like "scientists" (with their lab coats, how funny) to give the stupid American common sense information about products....

Their analysis is anything but scientific....
