MORE ON NATURAL GAS VEHICLES

HAVING DONE A BIT MORE RESEARCH ON NATURAL GAS VEHICLES I HAVE FOUND ONE MAJOR REASON THE AMERICAN AUTOMOBILE MANUFACTURERS DO NOT MAKE THEM IS SIMPLY THE FACT THAT THESE ENGINES ARE SO CLEAN RUNNING THAT THE GO 4 OR 5 HUNDRED THOUSAND MILES WITH OUT WEARING OUT.  THEY ARE SO CLEAN THAT UNLESS YOU JUST GOT TIRED OF THE LOOK THE AVERAGE AMERICAN WOULD ONLY BUY A CAR EVERY 10 YEARS.

AT THE PRESENT ONLY HONDA MAKES A PRODUCTION CAR (CIVIC) WHICH IS NATURAL GAS POWERED.  THE DRAW BACK I SEE HERE IS THE FUEL CAPACITY WHICH ONLY ALLOWS ABOUT 200 MILES PER TANK.  HOWEVER, THE MILEAGE ON AVERAGE SEEMS ABOUT THE SAME AS FOR A GAS POWERED CIVIC 24 IN TOWN AND 34 HYWY.

A COMPANY CALLED BAF TECHNOLOGIES WILL CONVERT FORD LIGHT TRUCKS TO NATURAL GAS WITH  EQUIVALENT 30 GAL TANKS AND ABOUT THE SAME GAS MILEAGE AS NORMAL F-250'S.  ADDITIONAL CAPACITIES ARE AVAILABLE.

SOME OF THE INFO I HAVE FOUND SAYS THAT MORE IN THE RANGE OF $1.25 TO $1.50 IS MORE COMMON FOR NATURAL GAS.

THERE IS ALMOST NO POLLUTION, LOW COST OF FUEL, ABUNDANCE OF FUEL, HOME GROWN FUEL, NO MUSLIMS TO PAY OFF, NO THREATS BY IRAN TO BLOCK THE STRAITS, LOOKS LIKE A NO BRAINER TO ME.

ELECTRIC CARS GET A MAX OF 60 MILES PER CHARGE AND MUST BE PLUGGED INTO A SOCKET WHICH RECEIVES ITS ENERGY MOST LIKELY FROM A COAL FIRED , OR NUCLEAR PLANT.

SURELY OBAMA CAN FIND A CRONY TO GIVE A BILLION $$$$$$$$$$ TO DO SOME PLAYING AROUND WITH THIS IDEA.

NATURAL GAS FILLING STATIONS ARE NOT EXTREMELY PLENTIFUL AT PRESENT, BUT THEN NEITHER WERE GASOLINE STATIONS IN 1915.
