Why Natural Gas for Transportation?
• Cheaper
– Costs average between
$0.50- $1.00 less per gallon
than gasoline
• Cleaner
– Cleanest burning fuel available
– Reduces GHG emissions by up
to 30% and NOx emissions by
85%
• Domestic
– 98% domestically produced
– Gallon per gallon displacement
of foreign oil
– 150 year supply

According to the US Energy Information Administration the spread
between natural gas and petroleum is forecasted to increase in the
coming years; fleets using natural gas will have a competitive
advantage over those using gasoline.
Pricing is based on gasoline gallon equivalent of CNG (inclusive of commodity and compression fee)
