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.

Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
