[QUOTE=porsche4life;7362828]In the next few years therewillbe quite a few nice halfton trucks that are already converted coming on to the market. They should get in the mid 20s and on 99/gge that ain't too shabby.
Sorry, but if the rest of the country would put in some filling stations, CNG is the answer right now. It's cheap, clean, and abundant. Pretty much any existing IC engine will run on it, and be able to switch back and forth with pump gas for extended range. Engines have very little wear on CNG due to it being a clean fuel. You change the oil in a CNG truck after 10k miles and it looks new....
I agree.
My old 5 ton company truck ran on gas and CNG. It was great in the city not so much on the highway.
They stopped promoting CNG up here a few years ago. Shell had CNG refuelling stations throughout Toronto. They removed all of them a couple of years ago because of cost to maintain the equipment. I guess they couldn't make enough profit.
The only way now is to purchase a home re-fueling station.
