I think that's a really cool setup. I'd like to hear some more details about it and see the what numbers it makes once you hit the dyno.

Correct, i l believe we have it at 1.80 per GGE, (gasoline gallon equiv.) on our pump right now.

So yes, its much less expensive.

All of the oklahoma natural gas stations sell CNG for .75/gallon and around town here it is $1.39/gallon.

The benefits are endless, clean, natural, american, abundant and affordable.

Gas mileage is within 5% of Gasoline #'s.

Havent gotten any dyno #'s yet but when we do, I will post them up.

Still layed up in bed..sorry for the sporatic info...just wore out.

I put in a search in my zip and there wasn't anything close. I think it is a very nice, practival alternative to gasoline with some added benefits.

on my old 5.7L LS1 i had it running on liquid LPG injection (australia) and i was making 250rwkw on 98 octane petrol and 260rwkw on LPG.

It is about 110octane here and obviously freezing cold when it is injected.

when the engine was pulled apart when i sold it i was told that there was very little carbon build up as it had such a nice clean burn all the time from the LPG it helped the enigne to run alot better.
