Lowest Cost Fuel - As low as $.64 a GGE (Gasoline Gallon Equivalent) If your car gets 30 mpg on gasoline you will still get about the same 30 mpg on GGE of natural gas which cost as litte as $.64. That is like going from 30 mpg to 180 mpg. I many areas the cost of natural gas is regulated keeping the price low. Domestic Fuel - Not dependent on foreign oil and their constant price increases. You will save even more in the future as gasoline contiues to rise faster than natural gas. Environmentally Friendly - Fewer emissions as hydrocarbons are virtually eliminated. Engine Runs Cleaner and Last Longer - No Carbon Deposits Which Create Friction and Engine Wear. Ignition (Spark) Plugs Stay Cleaner and Last Longer - No carbon deposits to clog and dirty the the plugs. Catalytic Converter Lasts Longer - No carbon deposits to dirty and clog the catalytic converter. Fewer Oil Changes - Carbon deposits which dirty the engines oil are eliminated. Engine Runs Quieter - Less engine noise due to the higher octane of natural gas. Bi-Fuel - Option to change to either fuel with the flip of a switch. |
Reduced Performance - Performance is reduced by Approximately 5% as natural gas has different physical attributes, and your engine was designed to run on gasoline. The Emulator provided in your conversion kit maximizes the combustion of natural gas by adjusting the engines timming keeping the performance loss to a minimum. Storage Space for Storage Tank - The cylinder (Storage Tank) will need to be installed in the trunk of most cars, in the truck bed of most trucks, or behind the back seat of an SUV. A medium sized cylinder is 14" in diameter and 36" long and weighs about 120 lb. In most cases the weight of the cylinder is offset by the reduced weight of the near empty gasoline fuel tank. Gasoline weighs about 8.5 lb per gallon, so 14 gallons of gas is equal in weight to a 120 lb cylinder. Filling Station Availability - Some areas of the United States have few or no filling Sations. If you live in Utah or Canada you are in the best areas to have a NGV. |
