I just discovered a new CNG station.
On 287 between Iowapark, TX and Vernon TX there is a gas station that has CNG. You cant miss it, there is only one gas station on 278 on that stretch of road.
So if you need to go to witchatawfalls there is a CNG station about 30miles down the road or if you have to go from DFW area to Amarillo there is a CNG station on the way, if you can make it that far (I do not know the CNG civics range, not trying to be rude).

Last month I went by there an there were pipe line welders welding the tiniest pipe line I have ever seen near that gas station. Guess the were installing a gas line to do CNG.
I always stop there and get gas, last month they definitely did not have a CNG pump.

Here is the weird thing...
I looked at the pumps price was $2.30/gge, not weird.
But the last person who bought CNG bought 38gge, I think big rigs are using CNG more now. I don't think any on road car, van or pickup can hold any where near even 30gge.
