The possibility of creating and mass-producing a car that doesn't run on traditional gasoline or diesel is a dream that many engineers and scientists have had for decades. Now, the future of alternative fuels in automobiles, such as electricity, hydrogen or natural gas, is much closer than it appears, as the first-ever compressed natural gas (CNG) car is sold in Kent County.
It cost just $14.48 to fill the 2012 Honda Civic Natural Gas from empty to full. The 2012 Green Car Journal Green Car of the Year gets an EPA-estimated 38 MPG highway and will go about 320 miles per tank. While refueling stations are limited for alternative fuels, Grand Rapids already has two locations for consumers to top off their eco-friendly natural-gas car, and that is likely to rise as demand increases.
Fox Honda has two CNG cars available as of August 16, 2013, so stop in and test drive the future!
