I looked at CNG just as an experiment. For all the time/trouble it would take to go to natural gas, the vehicle would have be usable for 20+ years, and with the average vehicle life being around 100-150k miles, it isn't worth it.
CNG is good for powering up stationary stuff from pipelines, but as a portable fuel source, we just have far better options. LPG comes to mind, but best of all is diesel which can be made from all sorts of things (veggies, motor oil, you name it,) and would have the best energy per unit volume... plus,diesel is flammable, but doesn't have a vapor issue like gasoline, CNG, or LPG.
