Home compressors for CNG cars

I've been googling and reading CNG forums about home compressors. It seems like the technology hasn't caught up so that we can fuel CNG cars/trucks from our home natural gas line. Well, there are compressors out there: Chinese cheapos, smaller US built ones that require regular, somewhat expensive rebuilds, and some homebrew solutions that don't sound very safe.

I want to convert a car and truck to run dual fuels: gasoline and CNG. I figure a 3-5 GGE tank would handle about 90% of regular use, and at $0.74/GGE for natural gas at the meter, there's potential for significant cost savings.

Comments?
