US truckers switching from Diesel to NG

[peripato]

Here's an idea planty! Try acting like a "scientist" instead of a partisan republican "consumer".

Show us some "progress," data demonstrating an ongoing and active conversion to NG; ie. historic conversions, past, current, and projected conversion. Those numbers should demonstrate when NG use will increase enought to mitigate the ongoing decline of conventional crude production and the depletion of reserves. Yeah, that kind of stuff. Not press releases. okay? thanks

Indeed, what a laff. There's only about 15 million NG/CNG powered vehicles in the entire world as of last year and most of them, retain the ability to use, or even require the use of ordinary everyday petrol!

No , I've seen those trucks in Soviet Union. Gasoline was ridiculously cheap , so obviously it wasn't an act of desperation.
