So far, the best 'deal' I've found is a refurbished Fuelmaker FM4 for $5400. It's rated for 4000 hours before a claimed on-site $800 rebuild.
However, I found that individuals can get up to $2000 federal tax credit for 'alternative fuel infrastructure,' but the equipment must be new. There's also a 50 cent per gallon tax credit for sellers/users of CNG, but individuals cannot claim the full amount. A business, however, can. The federal government is putting forth several nice incentives to get folks onto natural gas.
