In my town a lot of attention has been given to natural gas conversion, primarily because we're sitting on a huge natural gas field (Haynesville Shale). The City has converted its buses and garbage trucks to CNG, and some other governmental agencies have done the same to a degree. A lot of natural gas drillers/producers are in this area, and most of them have converted their fleet vehicles to CNG. Many residents have also had their personal vehicles converted. NG Refueling is no problem, as there are a half-dozen or so stations in the area, open 24 hrs. per day. Friend of mine has a Silverado equipped for CNG or gasoline, and he loves it. If he goes beyond his refueling range he switches to gasoline.
I think we'll see increasing usage of CNG in large commercial fleets that operate within a defined radius of central refueling facilities, such as city buses, police cars, fire trucks, garbage trucks, school buses, etc. Long distance hauling may take some time, but I think it'll happen as more and more truck stops provide CNG refueling The price of natural gas will most likely always be considerably lower than the petroleum fuels, and it'll be many centuries before we run out, so I think CNG has a bright future as a transportation fuel.

This story is about the day my Grandfather Brown (true name) decided along with my parents to purchase a new Ford tractor. It wasn't really new except to us. The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
