Green Wheels: Eco-Fueler

http://voom.tv/equatorhd/greenwheels
More and more vehicles are filling up on compressed natural gas, or CNG, and we'll explore two innovative ways this fuel is being used. First stop is a trip to the Eco-Fueler factory in
Eugene, Florida to check out the American Roadster™ CNG, a 70-mile per gallon vehicle that runs on compressed
natural gas. There's currently a four-month waiting list to get a Roadster but we'll get the inside scoop when we visit the factory to see the car made from start to finish. Second stop is Puente Hills landfill, the largest landfill in the U.S. They're processing the landfill's gaseous emissions into usable CNG for vehicle use. The facility can dispense approximately 200,000 gasoline gallon equivalent units of CNG fuel to
local customers. And it has replaced 120 of its own vehicles with CNG powered equipment. It's a new world and alternative energy is finding its place in all aspects of life.

Boy, is that thing UGLY. Needs the touch of a decent designer.

I like the idea and the fuel mileage, but if Eco-fueler really wants to get that idea out there I would recommend re-designing the exterior. A car can perform good, but it also needs to have some visual appeal.

This thing is definitely easy on the eyes, but hey, who knows what happens in the future.

What good will looks do when gasoline is $8.00 per gal. You can then stand and admire the look of your car while these guys are able to get around for $2.00 per gallon.

I would rather drive a natural gas motorcycle.

That thing looks ugly.

SO WHAT? Chevy had duel fuel for YEARS? Can't but Natural gas for cars in most states...policy of the Satanists...love you country fools

[Alexpaths]

Even though I drive an alternative fuel car, I believe that this car looks like something I would find in a cheap childs amusement park.

"looks cool"? looks like a huge....um....willie.

Natural gas IS the best transition from gasoline cars to ALL electric or hydrogen fuel cell cars.....Natural gas IS NOT forever, but IT WILL get us there as our world of petroleum comes to an end....And it is ALL from the good old U.S.A.
