Did You Know?

While some dedicated vehicles are designed to run only on natural gas, there are also bi-fuel vehicles—they make the best of both worlds and have two separate fueling systems. Bi means two—and they can use two fuels: natural gas AND gasoline or diesel. While dedicated natural gas vehicles show better performance and lower emissions than bi-fuel vehicles, there are a variety of options to meet your needs.

With the limited options of 2007 vehicles available, you may even want to consider retrofitting a car or truck to utilize natural gas with an aftermarket conversion system. And stay tuned—according to the United States Department of Energy, vehicles fueled with a blend of compressed natural gas and hydrogen are currently being tested.

And remember, compressed natural gas is dispensed in equivalent gallons, yet the fuel economy is referred to in the gas gallon equivalent (GGE).
