Prices may be coming down. Plus we are talking about every 20 years. And there is the argument that CNG engines last longer (not sure if that is thue though). Worth it or not is still the question and perhaps depends on the use the vehicle gets.

For an example I found this tank that is just a GGE larger than the Civic's tank for only $890 with a 20 year life expectancy.

Edit: It looks like that tank won't physically fit into the Civic GX. Too long and narrow.
