For what its worth, I work for a large natural gas transmission and distribution utility company and the words directly from thier sr. management about cng were: the equipment is too cost-prohivitive.

I don't want to kill anyone's entrepreneur spirit, but how much will cng cost to implement and how much would it save? I realize ng is currently about $0.40 per therm (1 million btu).

Correct me if my math is wrong, wouldn't you only need 20 cubic feet at 50psig to be of equal btu content as 10 gal of gas?
