Pickens has it right, convert large trucks to CNG where there is room for the bulky high pressure tanks necessary to store significant amounts of the fuel. Propane is a much better fuel for automobiles as it stores at low pressure to remain liquid in ambient air temps as high as 100F. NG burns clean and extends engine life; it is also a high octane fuel allowing for higher engine compression pressures. A significant program to use NG for our transportation needs would put a collar on oil prices. Significant amounts of distillates would become available for the air transport industry that must operate on oil based fuels.
