At this time, penetration of CNG into either the gasoline or diesel market is poisoned by the steep price of new or converted CNG engines.

The equipment is not expensive. Its that super-expensive EPA permit that lets manufacturers or converters install CNG. Chevy makes a CNG pickup. It sells at a $11,000 premium over the gasoline engines.

Thank you, EPA.
