The Current Stagnation of Natural Gas Vehicles in America

As some of you may know, I live in England and here there is a growing use of CNG and LPG vehicles. CNG needs a large tank, so tends to be used mainly for buses and larger vehicles operated in cities by local authorities. LPG is more common on vehicles such as SUVs, again a larger fuel tank is needed as well as a gas tank for when there isn't a convenient LPG station. Interestingly Vauxhall, the UK arm of General Motors, sell new cars ready converted to run on LPG, and with a normal warranty.
I think that the future will lie not with one fuel, but with a variety, each used where it is the most suitable alternative. So do keep up the pressure (no pun intended) to ensure that these alternative can play their part.
Disclosure (if that is the right word): my home uses propane gas for central heating and cooking. I am warm and well-fed, and so far it hasn't caught fire or exploded.
