Why doesn't america use methane gas to fuel their cars?

Question

I'm an american in europe and a lot of people use methane gas to fuel their cars because it's less expensive and it's a cleaner fuel. why don't we do that in america?

Answer 1

That is a good question since the windbag Politicians alone could power everything in the US!

Answer 2

We actually do use methane, the main ingredient of natural gas.  Whenever you see a vehicle marked "CNG", you're looking at a vehicle that runs on compressed natural gas.  Mostly these cars and trucks are in commercial fleets.

Answer 3

Because gas pumps are already built everywhere and oil buisnesses want MAX profit which they make with gas since it is so expensive now

Answer 4

Cause it stinks.  It smells like horse hiccups and boiled nickels.

Answer 5

B/c the oil companies have thus far in history been in many politicians pockets.  But they messed up with pissing off the American people with their high gas prices.  Who knows, they may be looking into this as an alternative fuel source now.

Answer 6

We do but methane doesn't compress very much. so the tank is large.

Answer 7

In America it's obvious that unless a billion $ can be made just off the idea, the right thing to do has no merrit and thus is a ridiculious proposition. The red-tape of american politics is so long now that even the polititians have no lucid memory of thier platforms. History will be made upon this fact, and no other. Yidiout's are the prevolence of this day so- beware thier words !
