civics run on CNG, compressed natural gas whose primary element is methane

propane can be found within natural gas but unlike natural gas propane is a pure chemical. CNG is just a compressed version of what is essentially piped into your home for heating and cooking

vehicles powered by propane are referred to as LPG vehicles, like fork trucks

I believe I read about $10 and you go about 200-250 mpt

Still have it. Actually, the Civic feels really crappy to drive compared to the Accord. The suspension seems really soft.

All of the PepsiCo distributors around here drive natural gas trucks (older S10's or Tacomas...not sure which).

the air force had a couple that ran on CNG, but they were just run on gas 99% of the time because they didn't feel like filling them up.
