[pianotech] The Fuel You Use In Your Car

[Don Mannino]

How long does it take to compress the gas from the home line to the car
tank?  Do you need to run the compressor overnight, or just for a while?

I'd also be interested in how many amps the compressor draws.  This should
be figured into the fuel costs.  But it still sounds a heck of a lot cheaper
than gasoline.

You have a good memory Patrick!  It is a CNG vehicle.  2007 Honda Civic GX.
It's the only factory manufactured CNG vehicle for the regular guy in
America right now. www.civicgx.com .  I get about 30mpg around town and
35-38 mpg on the freeway. 

I drive about 18,000 miles a year and my vehicle fuel costs average about
$40 per month.
