Kimray has been in negotiations with Chesapeak on making all of Kimray's trucks CNG.

Passed a sign in N.C. somewhere today that said Vass this exit.
The name rang a bell.

That will effect your AX times unless you didn't get it anywhere near the corner of the tire where the tire rolls over on turns.

The Cng trucks run cleaner, and last longer. Not to mention that fuel costs less than half.... As the conversion price comes down, we will see more of them...

Glen really should convert the Elky. That new motor will run 600k on CNG....

Maybe when that comes down I will convert.

Lets see, at $1.50 a gallon savings, an average of 20 mpg, and a initial cost of $7000. That's only 4666 gallons or 93,320 miles to break even. I usually drive around 15,000 per year so I would have to drive the car for a little over 6 years. I have never kept a car for that long.

Guy that works at Kimray bought a Prius because the distance he drives to work the difference in gas mileage between it and his pickup truck made the payment on the Prius every month.
