CNG-fueled Honda Civic GX ranked #1 on ACEEE greenest vehicle list. Again
Filed under: Honda, Natural Gas
When most Americans think of green cars from Honda, the models that typically come to mind are the Insight and Civic Hybrids, or maybe the FCX Clarity. Few think of the natural gas-fueled Civic GX, probably because not many have ever heard of it. One group that has heard of the GX is the American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy (ACEEE) which has placed it at the top of a list the dozen greenest vehicles currently available for sale in the U.S. Again.
For the past decade, a Honda has always topped the list and at least three cars from the automaker have been on the list in each of the last nine years (check out the 2007 and 2008 lists). The Civic GX is only available in a handful of states, including California, Utah and New York. A compressed natural gas tank consumes most of the trunk space of the Civic sedan, but other than that, the car's performance is quite conventional. In the past, Honda has offered GX buyers the Phill home fueling appliance that allowed them to fuel up their cars in their own garage. The company that makes the Phill went bankrupt last year and the current status of availability is unknown.
