Tux of Borg Posted April 24, 2005 Posted April 24, 2005 article Honda To Offer 'Convenient' Natural Gas Car Vehicle Has Its Own Refueling Machine Apr 21, 2005 9:33 pm US/Pacific 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.
