Answer 2

Pros:

The cost of CNG can be as little as half that of a gallon of gas if you use a home refueling device. And at commercial stations, the cost is still less than gasoline. Some research pegs the fuel savings at about 30 percent less than gasoline on average.

CNG is much cleaner-burning than gasoline. According to the Environmental Protection Agency, CNG can reduce carbon-monoxide emissions by 90 to 97 percent and nitrogen-oxide emissions by 35 to 60 percent when compared with gasoline.

The federal government offers a tax credit to buyers of CNG-powered vehicles.

Cons:

CNG-powered vehicles have generally cost more to purchase new than comparable gasoline models.

CNG stations are not available in some areas.

Even if you have access to natural gas, refueling can be a hassle. There are only about 1,300 refueling stations in the U.S., and many are operated by fleets and not open to the public.

Even though a CNG tank is larger than a gasoline tank, you get fewer miles per tank.

Safety:

The Department of Energy says vehicles powered by natural gas are as safe as conventional gasoline or diesel vehicles, and their pressurized tanks have been designed to withstand severe impact, temperature, and environmental exposure. CNG is lighter than air, so if fuel were to escape in a crash, it would evaporate rather than create a puddle under the car. While the gas is escaping the storage tank, it is highly volatile. But once the gas has evaporated, the fire danger is diminished. In contrast, a gasoline spill remains a danger until the pooled liquid is removed.

Answer 3

it is unsafe and fire isk is higher , i do not understand why insurance companies do not increase insurance premiums on such high risk cars and busses

Answer 4

With CNG you can cut down your running cost and more environmental friendly. That's IT

          There are very rare cases of CNG related accidents  complaints.

Still it will be better if you get CNG fitted at the same dealer from whom you purchase car. At least you will get dealer warranty.

        In WagonR you got the option of company fitted LPG, but that's not so popular.

Answer 5

although it is cheap but it requires a high initial cost and also it is very risky.....one cannot afford to lose his life for the sake of saving
