whats the MPG with the natural gas?

[amruyusrin]

@bonesdsm RM1 = 20km

Cleaner, efficient, and quiet. Not bad, Honda.

Real nice... With all the after market parts for these motors it would be easy to up the compression ratio, wich would yield you greater eficiency. Also because NG has a slower burn time than Gasoline you might want to advance the timming or see if you could find some sort of driver controled variable timing device.Ultimately a stroker kit would be ideal..... Great work!

@bonesdsm I'm no specialist but CNG does put out less BTU's than gasoline so you won't get the same amount of power and gas mileage but with CNG costing less it's not so important

[jayperelman]

The mileage on CNG is slightly lower, but the fuel octane rating versus gasoline is approximately 105 octane. You also may not need many of the other smog controls (besides you PCV valve), allowing you to tune your engine more efficiently..
