Filed under: Honda, Natural Gas


The only factory-built natural gas-fueled car currently offered in the United States is now a little bit more available. Cheap natural gas costs and state incentives have led Honda to start offering the Civic GX to retail customers in Oklahoma. Previously, the car had only been available in California, New York and Utah.

The Civic GX has a compressed natural gas tank mounted behind the rear seat taking up much of the trunk space. Unlike some other natural gas vehicles that converted by third parties, Honda builds the GX at its Greensburg Indiana plant alongside conventional Civics.

Unfortunately, it appears that the Phill natural gas refueling appliance is no longer available after its manufacturer Fuelmaker went bankrupt last year. The Phill could be mounted on the garage wall and could fill the Civic's tank from a home natural gas supply.
