Wow that CNG fueling station in a box is exciting. It will deliver a 40% savings over $3.50/gal and we have centuries of supply. I don't see why this couldn't be used on RV's. The 7+ gallons per minute delivery of fuel is acceptable. That would have saved me hundreds of dollars in the last few weeks. I understand that regular gasoline engines can be converted to GNG, but I would think it would generally be on new coaches and trucks.

I agree, this could help significantly diversify our transportation energy supply. I like seeing continuing innovation in all areas of energy types and efficiency. This has driven developments like the Ford Eco-boost V6 in the F150 pickup.

I was disappointed today to see that A123 Systems is going bankrupt. They had promising innovative Lithium Ion battery technology that would make said batteries more efficient. Why is this important? If said batteries became cheaper, widely available, and standardized then they would be affordable and standardized in more vehicles. Just think about all the billions of gallons of fuel that is wasted each year by vehicles creeping along in rush hour traffic. That is just in the US, multiply that by all the gridlocked cities of the world.
