I agree. Had a discussion about natural gas over the weekend. Apparantly big companies like Walmart are kicking off the transition to natural gas by running it in some of their fleet vehicles.
I don't want to de-rail this thread but I'd love to know the energy properties of natural gas. For instance, ethanol seems to have less energy than gas in that a vehicle has to burn more of it to maintain the same amount of engine output. I wonder how natural gas compares and what if any advantages it might have (like E85 is very knock resistant). Would an engine, say a 3.6 V6 natural gas engine by able to output 300 horse like todays V6 gas engines can?
Sorry, my mind just has too many questions sometimes lol.
