Will Automakers Switch to Natural Gas?

I have owned a converted vehicle in Italy for several years. It was a Mitsubishi Outlander, the same sold here in the US. The conversion is very cheap. It was 1,500 Euro and the State gave me back 1,000 as an incentive. I believe is even cheaper now. Tanks are not expensive at all and they are less dangerous than the regular gasoline tank.

I couldn't notice the difference running on gasoline or Natural Gas (called GPL in Italy). In Europe conversions have been done for many many years. I have known dozens of people that converted their cars without mechanical problems, insurance issues, maintenance issues, etc. It is simply a better fuel that oil lobbies want to keep secret ;)

If enough people get educated on this matter, demand could be built and infrastructure will come with it. I am actually shocked that not many people know how popular natural gas is in many foreign countries.
