Natural Gas: Not Many Reasons to Own It

paulito I asked my local Ford dealer this question a few months ago. Fords response..."at this time we are not interested in building a cng vehicle"
I think this is dumb

hard to change human behavior!
an object in motion stays in motion
an object at rest stays at rest

I plan on converting my vehicle to natgas soon.

U.S. Automakers Can't Afford to Overlook Natural Gas Opportunities

A few weeks ago, I asked Ford if they were interested in cng. The response was crystal clear. We are not pursuing cng at this time. I sold all my stock the next day and told ford management why.
cng is a great idea. You can put a little fill up station in your garage. The market will add cng gas stations as demand warrants.
I have blamed the unions on the Detroit auto demise, but management stupidity is also to blame

Political Energy Policy Just for Laughs

"Natural Gas – This is actually the only energy option which is readily available, relatively clean, and has adequate technology today to support wider use. We could make a pretty good sized dent in imports by converting cars. The economics are currently in place. This would probably need some government and state intervention at the beginning to develop and plan and build an infrastructure. To me this is the best chance for a short to medium term energy source to offset imported oil."

I agree. I am surprised at how little this is mentioned besides tboons adds.
