Honda To Offer 'Convenient' Natural Gas Car

 

Vehicle Has Its Own Refueling Machine

DETROIT (AP) As one Honda official puts it, "Driving a natural gas vehicle has never been so convenient."

 

Honda is offering a natural gas vehicle with its own home refueling machine. It says it's a first for the industry.

 

The car company says it's been offering its Honda Civic G-X sedan for seven years -- but this will be the first time consumers can buy the vehicle in a dealership and lease a refueling machine to go along with it.

 

Honda says the Civic G-X can go up to 220 miles without refueling and costs about three and three-quarter cents a mile to fuel. A conventional gasoline-powered Civic can go about 350 miles without refueling and costs almost nine cents a mile to fuel.

 

There is a downside. If the vehicle runs out of natural gas, it would have to be towed to the owner's home or a gas station that has natural gas refueling tanks.

Well, maybe the bottom of the driver's seat could be rigged with a hose, and if you eat a lot of beans... :w00t:
