Until there are more CNG stations available I just can't see myself getting one. Credit to Honda for the continual effort though.
!#$(@ I wanted it to be a Prius. Reading your clues and finding out the answer was more disappointing than a deadbeat dad not coming home for Christmas.
My father and I were just talking about CNG vehicles the other night. He says CNG should be the way to go considering how much we have and how cheap it is but I said how the infrastructure just isn't there and to build it up it will take a lot of cash. Plus I can only speak from living/being stationed in Sacramento but you don't see much natural gas there because of earthquake potential etc. He says though that they are beginning to or have been building/converting 18 wheelers to run on CNG and are installing stations for them so they could do it for passenger vehicles at the same time... I do not know, guess time will tell. If battery technology doesn't jump by some leaps and bounds who knows, it may have to be considered as a way to go. I remember reading some years ago about the CNG Civic and even with a 200+ mile range, it would do me no good since I know of no filling stations between my house and any place I go on a 3-4 hour one way trip.
Honda sure has a wide array of technologies on the road - Clarity fuel cell is still being leased, IMA hybrids and CNG, and next year electric. Kudos for that.
wait til they start fracking the whole country to keep up with ng demand. and everyone's water becomes polluted. it's one thing to create a vehicle that will run on alternative fuel, it's another to figure where supply will come from.
Toyota should bring out the Prius CNG. It would be a great alternative to PiP for states with mostly Coal grid electricity.
