Of course, I promptly challenged him to a race...from my home to Burns Oregon and back. He'd have to stop to charge for hours while I could gas up the Mustang in minutes.

One of my friends has a Honda that is runs on Natural Gas. It drives just like a gasoline version of the same Honda. If came from the factory as Nat Gas only. He drives all over in Oklahoma and knows the places with CNG to fill up, and there are many. When he has to go to Houston to visit his kids, he rents a car, and he and his wife load up and go.
My neighbor had a SUV that he bought new that ran on CNG or gasoline. CNG back then was 50 cents a gallon and has the basic energy as gasoline. GNC right now today it is $1.54 per gallon, so still lots cheaper than the $2.15 for gasohol or $2.40 for 100% pure gas.
