except there are too many people (republicans like Bush cough) that would resist such drastic progress
but there are many downsides since the technology is not as mature and advanced as conventional engines.
the real answer for now in my opinion is clean deisel, which blows hybrids away (also no batteries)
Flow rate at a residence is limited by the fire code.
Public stations fill just like a gasoline pump!
Why doesn’t Obama mandate that every gas station have at least one CNG pump? If he’s serious about cleaning up the environment, he would have done that, day one.
If they had guarantees that there would be supply, the manufacturers would build a lot more of these. In fact, any newer car can easily be equipped to run CNG.
Things like this really piss me off.
Depends what pump you use.
does it still take hours to fill?
It sounds like Fuel Systems Solutions is picking up the pieces …
FuelMaker Corp., manufacturer of the Phill, entered involuntary receivership on April 2, 2009. Honda of America, FuelMaker’s sole shareholder, advised that the company be liquidated.
Can we get more public pumps please –
Informative video! I like the idea and Honda is to be commended…I just wish the availability of the car was more widespread. Thanks Master Dan for the footage–good job as usual.
