Refueling with combustible compressed gas provides 2 energy sources from 1 fuel. The gas is combustible and its under high preasure. If your vehicle were equipted with a computer controlled all electronic valve engine, it would be possible to operate as a combustion engine, compressed gas(air) engine, and regerative braking air compressor. On trips the dual fuel would almost double your drive. For short trips around town, operating on compress air provides enough miles per fill-up.

A vehicle engineered for CNG will be a hybrid with regenerative braking. The engine will have all electronic valves allowing the engine to operate by combustion or compressed gas(air), or operate as a compressor during braking. CNG, Hydrogen, Compressed Air. Decompressing CNG or Hydrogen powers the engine as well as combusting. The travel distance will almost double when CNG or Hydrogen is the fuel.

I geuss only elitist environazi's like nancy Pelosi will be able to afford them.

Great Idea. I asked the company that manufactured "Phil" cost $6000.00 with installation.

The gasoline tank in your "safe" gas guzzler is a lot more of a hazard. Methane is ligher than air and dissipates harmlessly if vented. It's gasoline fumes that collect and blow up. I personally prefer to plug my car in and forget it instead of standing at a pump freezing my ass off.

Why not have CNG refueling at every Honda dealership in order to make it easier to find CNG everywhere you travel? I don't want a potential bomb in my garage.
