Before you go to Mexico for a CNG conversion, remember that your car has to pass inspection every year. If your conversion was not done by a licensed shop, I don’t think it will pass. Also, NG filling stations will be equally corralled by the feds and will demand to see your papers before the sell you gas.
Since this was written, NG prices have fallen by a third, again.
Call or write your congressman aout this subject.

This is an outrage! This is like the electric car that Bush killed in 2001 because the oil companies were scared of way everybody liked the EV1. If we are ever going to shake off the need to pay these ragheads in the mideast billions to get our gas, we need to start here, using NG that we produce in the good old US. I gotta write my senator.

This is why people need to wake up to what the EPA is really all about. NOT the environment, but how to get between average people and their wallets.

I suppose Congress will act on this issue the moment Saudi Arabia finally decides, at their whim, to stop exporting oil (probably due to peak oil effects).

Then, we’ll probably see an “emergency” explosion of CNG conversions as a quick way to get back up and running with existing automobiles.

In any case, I think the best strategy is to, as quickly as possible, move to EV’s and Biofuel burning hybrids that are at least carbon-neutral, reserving CNG for use in backup electric power generation, where it’s most efficiently and cleanly used and CO2 sequestration of it’s emissions can be done much cheaper.

Perhaps this is the strategy our leaders are actually following, hence the suppression of CNG conversions? That would make sense…

The nice thing about natural gas is we can make it at waste processing centers (i.e. – turn our poop into fuel instead of releasing carbon dioxide directly back to the environment without any use or benefit). Remember the pigs in “Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome” – Tina Turner driving an Aussie hotrod on fermented pigcrap gas has to mean something!
