I am kinda experienced about CNG, and even can see it as a good alternative for some operations, but LNG scares the hell out of me. And as its main component (methane) can be generated from organic waste, it seems better than ethanol. Anyway, maybe Volkswagen should introduce to the American market some CNG-powered versions of its cars fitted with the 1.4L TSI engine as it does in Europe.
