Advantages natural gas

 The maintenance advantage

  • Intervals between oil changes for natural gas vehicles are dramatically extended
  • Natural gas does not react to metals the way gasoline does, so pipes and mufflers last much longer.

 

The performance advantage

  • Natural gas gives the same mileage as gasoline in a converted vehicle.
  • Dedicated CNG engines are superior in performance to gasoline engines.
  • Because CNG is already in a gaseous state, NGVs have superior starting and drivability, even under severe hot and cold weather conditions.

 

The environmentally clean advantage

  • Compressed natural gas is the cleanest burning fuel operating today. This means less vehicle maintenance and longer engine life.
  • CNG vehicles produce the fewest emissions of any motor fuel.
  • Dedicated Natural Gas Vehicles (NGV) have little or no emissions during fueling.
  • In gasoline vehicles, fueling emissions account for at least 50% of a vehicle's total hydrocarbon emissions.
  • CNG produces significantly less pollutants than gasoline.
  • Tailpipe emissions from gasoline operated cars release carbon dioxide, which contributes to global warming. This is greatly reduced with natural gas.
