[QUOTE="soberups, post: 1178821, member: 14668"] About a decade ago we had a couple of package cars that ran on compressed natural gas. We got them because one of our biggest accounts, Intel, wanted "green" cars only delivering to its chip factories in Hillsoboro OR. So we got these cars, they were P-700's that ran on CNG instead of gasoline, but the problem was that they require special equipment to maintain that was never provided to our auto shop. The other drawback was that a CNG car takes about 10 minutes to refuel, which took place at an off site location. They could never keep these cars on the road consistently, so at one point they stuck "powered by compressed natural gas" stickers on the side of a couple of conventional gasoline-powered P-800's in order to look good for this account. Eventually the CNG cars went away. [/QUOTE]
