Thanks for the link. Glad to see that Love's is getting involved. I read yesterday that a Chinese Company was going to spend $2 BILLION in GNC fueling stations here in the US and was buying up natural gas leases in LA and Mississippi. Changing CNC to LNG adds about 30% to the cost of the raw material I have heard, so there is a trade off with density. I have seen those Kelvar tanks that Westport is using. and they are getting about 600 miles between refueling. Looks like on an over the road truck, they would have a whole lot of room for tankage. There is such a huge price differential it is very hard not to switch. This will make our goods and energy more competitive in the world. Pretty exciting for the future. As far as RV's go, I don't think I have ever gone over 300 miles without stopping. My problem isn't fuel related, but bladder related. I know the drivers are not allowed by law to go over 11 hours, so I don't see much advantage in having a range over that. Those laws are only going to get stricter also.
