Default honda civic GX natural gas vehicle

anyone have one or know of someone that has one? methinks natural gas is a neat idea but i never found the "mpg" of this car. is it equivalent to like 35mpg regular gas?

Yes, a week's worth of groceries easily fit in the trunk. That's 10 bags with a little room left for a watermelon. The CNG tank does take up additional trunk space and eliminate the versatile split-folding rear seats found in other Civic models.

trunk looks small compared to a regular civic trunk which is enormous
