Compressed Natural Gas or CNG is being promoted as an alternate, less costly transportation fuel for cars, trucks, and trains. Widespread acceptance of CNG depends on investments by natural gas suppliers and users. Internal combustion engines readily burn CNG delivering identical performance. Bi-fuel cars are sold and driven in Europe. Uncertainty about future pricing will slow its widespread acceptance.

US energy reserves in the form of natural gas are about 80% larger than its petroleum reserves. Future drilling will add modestly to either reserve with the likelihood that new natural gas reserves will be more significant.

T. Boone Pickens is proposing to use more natural gas as fuel for automobiles. His ads are gaining traction and many people are beginning to ask themselves if a Compressed Natural Gas or CNG powered car is in their future.

Embracing new technologies can be difficult for ‘old dogs’, but when it comes to improving our environment every advance is important and worthy of scrutiny.

It might be hard for some to imagine it, but back in the 1970s, the big west coast cities of San Francisco, Los Angeles and San Diego had very poor air quality. In fact it was so bad that it was compromising the health of residents, especially children. Respirator diseases, particularly asthma was on the increase

The government of California recognized that the main contributor to pollution in its cities was motor vehicle exhaust emissions. They had constructed spaghetti-like freeways to manage the huge volume of traffic caused by commuters travelling to and from major centers. Cheap gas was available and the car-pooling trend had not yet taken hold.

We are going to approach this discussion from the standpoint of the basic differences as they relate to the owner’s pocket. The benefits of a Diesel engine as opposed to a Gasoline power point can also be looked at from an environmental view point.

A consumer can make an informed choice between the two engines if the benefits are clear; it’s not essential to know exactly how each engine is constructed and if one is more interested in the cost factors then there are some compelling reasons for choosing a Diesel over a Gasoline Engine.

A Diesel engined car will cost substantially more than its Gasoline opposite number due to its more complex construction but there are numerous long term benefits for the driver who is prepared to wait and who travels a high mileage each year.
