I was talking with an over the road trucker this weekend and he mentioned that Pilot/Fly J was building natural gas refueling centers at all of it's travel plazas. He goes from Central Fl, to Ky, to Az and back every week. I did a little research on it and looks like they are. There are a 15 and 17 liter engine being sold that give performance similar to diesels. The research I did shows the diesel equivalent price to be about $1.60/ gallon or so. That is a huge advantage in fuel savings. Looks like conversion would not be the route and the cost differential on new engines would be the answer on scheduled basis as the diesels wear out (4 year average). They also state that they are also going after the RV market. The natural gas fueling centers will supply CNG and LNG. Looks like the CNG will be the winner between these two. See link about Pilot/Flying J.
