RV Fuel Issues & Prices - Post 'Em Here!

That CNG vehicle is really neat. While in Salt Lake, we saw a station. I guess the tank has to be round (cylinder). The miles per pound of fuel is still pretty good. 8 gallons for 200 miles is 25 per gallon, but having to be a cylinder makes it take up more room, Probably this could be made better if the whole car was designed from the ground up. The electric has a very high weight to miles ratio. I have listened to several documentaries about the trucking industry and LPG. I think there is a real push to do this. They change out the engines a lots more frequently on them as they are driven so many miles a year and the diesels get changed out about 1.5 million miles. I think these are solvable problems. The supply of natural gas isn't a problem. We have several centuries worth with the new technology of horizontal drilling and fracking. Renewables only account for less than 2% of total US supplies and are extremely expensive. They are being dropped in Europe due to huge costs. I think LPG is the next thing. The infrastructure is already here,
