glatt, that's interesting. When I worked for Mazda we were working on a CNG minivan.

I did ask him and he didn't know. But he said it came form a town called something like Levitown.

(He bought it from a third party, not the fleet itself)

Someone called in to Cartalk a couple of months ago about a truck that had been outfitted with NG. It also was part of a fleet that was sold off.

There are two Honda Civics for sale right now on E-Bay that are natural gas cars. A lot cheaper than a hybrid, and if you live near a station, and need an around town vehicle, it sounds like just the ticket.

I can't wait to see his. I wonder what the engine differences are? I suppose you wouldn't need fuel injectors?
