    I was going to buy a natural gas Honda Civic. But I bought another regular gas vehicle because filling the car with natural gas is inconvenient (live in apartment) and the purchase price is much higher.

    That said, all else being equal, a natural gas vehicle that you could fill in your own garage would be super cool and convenient.

    Last I heard, unlike Hybrids, CNG cars get HOV stickers that don’t expire.

    When I was in High School I worked a delivery job where the van was a Gas/CNG hybrid in the 90’s. We used to connect them in the evening and charge them from the regular gas connection at the shop. The performance is not as good but the cost per mile was nearly 1/3 if I remember right.

    I looked into Phill myself and it was a great idea. I live in an apartment so I would ask my dad to let me charge at his house.

    Problem is that SDGE requires that you inform them of a Phill installation and they charge you higher rates. I wonder if the Phill people would install the device without telling SDGE. If I have to pay higher natural gas rates then I might as well buy a gasoline car.
