$8 a gallon for gas, damn.

Realize that some people or groups do not want gas prices to decrease. These are the same people who fight against our ability to drill in Anwar, off-coast and new refineries. Why? Because the higher the price of gas is then the less some parts of our society will be able to afford it, thus it will help reduce "man made global warming" and environmental impacts as they perceive it.

There are people in washington voting on these bills who are probably cheering for $10 a gallon.

We prolly won't be using it soon anyway. Within 5 years I bet we run our cars of recycled waste (garbage, sewage).

New York State has spend a few years converting all of it's vehicles. You can Buy CNG powered cars from Ford, Chevy, Honda.

Any vehicle can be converted. Just because they don't have a kit does not mean that it can not be done.

If I had the $, I'd have a CNG system made for the Z already.

I'm way ahead of you on that man, I've done all the research to convert my Blazer and 240 to CNG. I know we HAVE vehicles that run on CNG...I'm saying we aren't putting enough money into making more of them. CNG is everywhere and the infrastructure is in place, we just need to make it more readily available.

The new injection systems are awsome. It makes the car a true flex fuel vehicle, not just ethanol/petro.
