![]() ![]() the Civic NG is lowest emission ICE car in the world with SULEV designation (super ultra low emission vehicle). At least Honda has kept producing in Indiana the Honda Civic NG (formerly called Civic GX) from 1998 to present. Gotta also notice that C&D office/HQ is in Ann Arbor, MI where automakers have been very hesitant to take on cng with any gumption. These would have greatly skewed the Cost Per Mile calculation in favor of the Civic NG. It shows as C&D writer didn't even mention Utah and Oklahoma that have statewide infrastructure of public cng pumps AND low cost (ie UT is $1.50/gge and OK is $0.90 to $1.39/gge). ![]() It's big pet pieve amongst cng community that those articles likely written by totally un-informed people clueless about cng. are chock full of total crap that doesn't match the real world of what's happening with cng. Many major newsprint articles by USA Today / Forbes, etc. "Up against the Nissan Leaf, another eco-minded car with limited range, the Civic CNG looks pretty good."Īt least the C&D writer had some clue what he was talking about. " In the Civic CNG’s favor is the ridiculously low price of its fuel" Here's couple OVERALL quotes near end of Car&Driver article: NOR the Date of the article as it was March 2012. Guess you didn't bother reading the entire article. It was in fall 2012 and covered 8,000 miles using 197.6 gge of cng for $395 in cng fuel cost!! See details at: GO FOR IT !! Buying a Civic NG would be best car buying decision you will ever make in your entire life!!ĮDIT: Also check out the cross-country trip that couple drove 2012 Honda Civic NG from Los Angeles, CA to New Jersey. Transit buses, trash trucks, and trucking industry is quickly implementing cng/lng for the cost savings and clean emissions. Much of east coast can be driven with plentiful cng refueling sites.ĬNG/LNG is the direction USA is taking to break stranglehold of imported crude oil since natural gas is plentiful and cheap in USA. Other states are picking up steam as well. Oklahoma is the fastest growing cng state with nearly 70 public cng pumps from $0.90/gge to $1.39/gge. Utah also has statewide cng pumps at $1.50/gge. Same promotion is all over California where you can drive the entire state on cng. With cng in Columbus, OH at $1.80/gge and Civic NG getting 40 mpg highway that equates to only 4.5 CENTS per mile for fuel cost!!! Comparatively, any liquid petrol vehicle would have to get 82 mpg with $3.70 gasoline to match that super low cost per mile of 4.5 cents for the Civic NG at $1.80/gge. Read up on you'll see what a terrific car the Civic NG would be for your daily driver. Civic NG has been produced every year in USA since 1998 - and awarded the cleanest emission car every year!! Oil is so clean after even 10K miles, that some guys lengthen out oil changes to 15K to 20K miles!!! See details at:Ĭivic NG is cleanest ICE (internal combustion engine) EVER produced by any manufacturer worldwide and classified as SULEV (super ultra low emission vehicle). There are 5 public cng fueling stations in greater Columbus, OH area ranging in price from $1.80/gge to $2.25/gge. I only drive cng vehicles and while in Oklahoma the cng price is only $0.90/gge to $0.99/gge!!! with that Honda Civic Natural Gas (formerly called Civic GX). definitely the BEST CAR BUYING DECISION OF YOUR LIFE. If you live near Columbus, OH now would be terrific time to buy a new daily driver. ![]()
