My Story of Owning a CNG Car. by Melanie Henage
Have you noticed how gas prices keep going through a yo yo effect but the trend just keeps getting more expensive. If you remember 2008 gas prices were on average at $3 a gallon at the beginning of the year jumped to over $4. 5 a gallon through the summer. The increases in gas prices was taking a big toll on many of my friends families wallets. But not mine I purchased a CNG Car compressed natural gas that not only saves a load of money only an average of $0. 75 a gallon equivalent through 2008 but is far beyond a cleaner solution for the environment.
While others were conserving their miles my husband I took several trips during the summer months. We traveled to Vegas many national parks even to LA from our home in the Utah area. Just about any direction we go we can find inexpensive clean natural gas for our CNG Car. One round trip was when we went from Provo UT to Vegas which totaled 720 miles. If we took a regular gas car it would have cost us $120 but instead it only cost us $30. That's $90 that we saved who couldn't use an extra $90 on a trip to Vegas.
Last fall I was doing my student teaching my husband was starting a business. This left our income very low for a time. At times like these are when you are looking out for a way to save some money. Our Super Saver was our CNG car.
While we would normally be paying over $200 a month for fuel our CNG car was costing us about $40 a month. Having an extra $160 a month during that time was a real blessing to us. Even though our income has really improved since then having those extra savings every time I fill up my car is great. Especially when I know that I am doing my part in polluting less.
It's hard for us to pay for regular gas when it costs so much more than natural gas. I keep questioning " why don't more people look for purchase natural gas vehicles so they can be saving so much money on gas prices It's one less expense that we love not having to worry about.
