Usually CNG will be more efficient than the same motor on pump gas....

We are looking at the savings it will be on our diesel pickup. Sure it won't pull as much, but anyways.... 2.50/ gallon savings, add in it should do close to 5 mpg better than the current truck...

Should even up pretty quick. And we have been needing another pick up anyways. So it all works out...

Poor old Afterburn cracked on the Darwin thread.
You could see it slowly cooked him like a cake.
A good read.

We're all born with "tails". Just for most, it is unnoticeable aka the coccyx.

Yep, Dentist pushed all the right buttons.

Interesting, most the CNG vehicles I looked up showed CNG same or less MPG than gasoline.

I have to agree with Richard. In fact, a 2001 Honda civic 4 cyl 1.7L got better mileage on gas, albeit, a mile or two.

I enjoy cleaning the car.
I drive it hard and clean it well.

I have time.

So Dave, have you started to put your blues-man clips on your youtube channel yet. So I can watch them at will.

No, Markus. No new vids at the moment. I will, but not as frequently as you.

Oh, yes of course. I must still be tired, counting the hours the wrong direction.
