Natural gas powered cars...

Honda has partnered with a company that offers a home refilling unit. Severum mentioned that it costs between 9 and 16 thousand dollars.


The system is made by
phill which was partially owned by Honda. Phill filed for bankruptcy in 2010 and was bought out by another company. I found prices ranging from 2 to 6 thousand looking around online.

Adding that cost to the cost of the vehicle pretty much rules out the CNG option from an economic standpoint. However, I could see benefits in a small fleet situation. I'll have to compare my natural gas cost vs gasoline to see what the per mile difference is. It may still be beneficial for our company cars that stay within a 50 mile radius of the home office. I don't see how it would work today for a family car when you have road trips, etc. that would require triyng to find CNG filling stations.
