natural gas is the smart alternative in vehicle fuel

  Why is compressed natural gas (CNG) the smart alternative in vehicle fueling solutions?
  Low Cost
  CNG offers considerable energy savings over fuels such as gasoline and diesel – as much as 30% at the pump. Given that natural gas fueling consists mostly of infrastructure costs and not the fuel itself, prices typically remain stable.
  Low Environmental Impact
  The transportation sector is one of the biggest contributors to air pollution in North America. Natural gas produces up to 40% fewer greenhouse gas emissions than conventional fuels, making it the best energy alternative to protect the environment.
  Easier, Less Frequent Maintenance
  CNG is the cleanest burning fuel option available today, delivering cost savings on maintenance and repairs by reducing vehicle wear.
  Safer
  Natural gas is one of the world’s safest sources of energy because of its properties, and the reliability of natural gas vehicles (NGVs) and their fuel delivery systems.
In the event of a spill or leak, natural gas will evaporate into the air, unlike gasoline, which pools on the ground creating a fire hazard.
  Robustly constructed natural gas fuel tanks are manufactured with polymers and composites that are stronger than steel, which means less risk of damage or a leak.
Natural gas fueling stations are built to strict federal standards that ensure safety.
