Benefits of Natural Gas Vehicles

  • Cost Savings

    Natural Gas costs about 1/3 less than gasoline and about 50% less than diesel, resulting in sigificantly lower operating costs.
  • Abundant Natural Gas Supply

    Using a gallon equivalent of Natural Gas means one less gallon of imported oil, which reduces dependency on foreign oil.  Natural Gas is an American fuel which equals American jobs.
  • Cleaner Environment

    Natural Gas produces less exhaust emissions, and also less carbon, than any other fossil fuel.
  • Natural Gas is Safe

    Natural Gas is lighter than air, so it dissipates when released. It doesn't leak into the ground. The ignition temperature is high - 1000 to 1100°F.  Comprehensive standards for fuel tank, vehicle and station design ensure safe operations.

Governments – federal, state, and local – are encouraging the use of NGVs by providing incentives and grants.
