Here, John tours and reviews the Honda Civic natural gas model. Honda is the only maker to offer natural-gas passenger vehicles in the U.S., selling about 2,000 of its Civic GX model each year. The company recently said it would sell its Civic natural-gas model in all 50 states when the Civic line is redesigned for 2012.


John talks about the advantages and disadvantages of this type of vehicle.

The only green fuel that works... ;)

Natural (methane) Gas isn't the way to go not because you get less MPG, but because it still pollutes. Other noxious emissions are involved with Natural Gas Burning. Drilling is another concern. I don't think you can convert PSI (pounds-per-square-inch) to gallons. you do so by price. Natural Gas costs $2.00/gallon. Gasoline costs $4.00. And emissions depend on engineering. A Honda Civic NG-Vehicle gets better MPG than 1/3 of cars on the road.

@heartlessvietboy yes but you dont get the same MPG for a gallon of natural gas as comparison to regular gas. so yes natural gas is cheaper but you get less miles per gallon. Natural gas is not the way to go.

Amazing!!!!!!!

I'm buying this car.

@denisrenelara si pero son motores nafteros, adaptados al sistema de gas natural comprimido. Este modelo es mejor por que es diseñado desde cero para funcionar con gas

[bluemoondiadochi]

wha, no trunk?

and where else am i supposed to fit the seventh passenger, when we go from party to party? no roof?! ... (hm, pretty god idea!)

just kidding, it's a great concept, trunk space or not!

[denisrenelara]

@Pentium3ddem Argentina es el pais numero 2 con carros que usan gas propano

If I have money I'll buy me a Honda Civic Natural gas. It gets 28 MPG. All running on cleaner fuel. Natural Gas costs only $1.85 cents a gallon. $12 bucks to fill up. I really don't care about trunk space. Most of the time you don't use it anyway. A trunk that size is good enough. Plus you got the back seat!!

Seria bueno que la gente de Honda Argentina fabrique el City con este sistema.
