Compressed Natural Gas: Key to American Energy Independence?

In the UK LNG (we call it LPG) has been available for many years, but not on original vehicles, so there is a cost of conversion around £2,000 - say US$4,000. They are also, all dual fuel, as they need to start on petrol. Any saving in running costs is lost by the inability to sell the used vehicle - second hand values are seriously low - if a buyer can be found... and you lose the boot space for the gas tank.

A recent June 2008 article here - tinyurl.com/57me9l - provides a background on using UK luxury 2nd hand models to convert and then presumably run into the ground.

Depending on the model you may also find problems with insurance cover.
