Compressed Natural Gas Car





This video is about one man who no longer spends a lot of money at the pumps. Instead, he has bought a Honda Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) car, and had a pump installed in his garage, so he can fuel up at home. A tank of gas now costs him roughly $7.00, and will last for 250 miles.

CNG vehicles as well as Electric vehicles are gaining popularity all over the world.  Consumers want to be more eco-friendly, as well as pay less to fill up their tanks.


The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency conducted a study of the potential benefits of CNG versus gasoline based on the cleaner burning characteristics of natural gas. In the study it stated that Compressed Natural Gas does the following:
  • Reduces carbon monoxide emissions 90%-97%
  • Reduces carbon dioxide emissions 25%
  • Reduces nitrogen oxide emissions 35%-60%
  • Potentially reduces non-methane hydrocarbon emissions 50%-75%
  • Emits fewer toxic and carcinogenic pollutants
  • Emits little or no particulate matter
  • Eliminates evaporative emissions
