A friend of mine just bought one of these......
http://automobiles.honda.com/civic-gx/
Right now he drives a Duramax Diesel and it cost about 100 dollars to fill his tank. This will cost $6 and he can go 250 miles on a tank. The problem is he said once you get out of Utah finding Natural Gas for it is very hard, for example he cant even visit his sister in Idaho Falls because he would run out of gas. But you can drive in the HOV lanes, and he immediately recieved a $7,000 rebate from the government. Also in Utah there is a 2 year waiting list at Ken Garff with a $2500 deposit so he bought his in California. Not a bad idea, I drive a Civic for commuting right now, I might look in to one of these.

Not sure how it would take to pay for itself. Its popular with fleet vehicles here (Oklahoma), but subject to the same refueling issues (current lack of infrastructure for convenient refueling away from home/fleet site). I think the max range is also shorter than a full tank of gasoline. And, of course then you are at the mercy of the price of nat gas. |

Why does this Civic hold only 8 gallons of fuel? Other models hold 13.
