AS THE COST OF DIESEL CONTINUES TO RISE, LOWER-COST NATURAL GAS FUEL PRICES REMAIN RELATIVELY STABLE—AND CONSIDERABLY LESS EXPENSIVE—MAKING IT AN ECONOMICAL CHOICE.
CNG IS A COST EFFECTIVE ALTERNATIVE TO REGULAR FUEL. ONE OF THE MAIN REASONS FOR THIS IS THAT NATURAL GAS IS DOMESTICALLY SOURCED AND ABUNDANT IN SUPPLY.
IF YOU'VE SPENT ANY TIME BEING OUTRAGED AT THE PRICE OF GASOLINE, YOU'VE PROBABLY LOOKED INTO THE CURRENT CONDITIONS OF THE OIL MARKET. A QUICK GOOGLE SEARCH WILL DEMONSTRATE THAT THE OIL MARKET IS A TRUE GLOBAL MARKET. ALTHOUGH THERE ARE VARIOUS OIL MARKETS, THEY ALL REACT IN TANDEM TO GLOBAL EVENTS, WHICH AFFECT THE PRICE OF OIL.
THE NATURAL GAS MARKET IS DIFFERENT.
BECAUSE THE MOST EFFICIENT WAY TO TRANSPORT NATURAL GAS IS ON LAND, THROUGH PIPELINES, THE COMPRESSED NATURAL GAS AVAILABLE FOR PURCHASE WITHIN THE UNITED STATES IS PRODUCED RIGHT HERE. IT IS PUMPED FROM AMERICAN WEELS BY AMERICAN WORKERS AND PIPED TO STATIONS RUN BY AMERICAN COMPANIES.
FURTHERMORE, IT DOES NOT GO OVERSEAS, AND IT IS NOT AFFECTED BY GLOBAL CIRCUMSTANCES.
EVEN IN A DEPRESSED DIESEL FUEL MARKET, CNG CONTINUES TO BE LESS COSTLY THAN DIESEL FUEL AND WILL STILL REPRESENTS AN INSTANT CASH-FLOW SAVINGS WITHIN YOUR PERSONAL ECONOMY.
