Natural gas is viable option outside Florida

Is it? Yes. Just not in Florida so much. A little history: There was a time when several manufacturers, including General Motors and Ford, sold cars, trucks and vans that would run on compressed natural gas. Most of those were fleet cars, such as plain-vanilla Chevrolet Cavaliers and Ford Crown Victorias. A company called CNG Motors in Arizona specializes in selling used CNG-powered vehicles: A 2001 Cavalier, for instance, is listed for $12,500 on the company Web site (CNGmotors.com).
