Why you should invest in alternative fuels: 5 Signs It's Time to Consider Propane or CNG Vehicles
Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) and Propane are both quickly becoming the most popular alternative fuel sources in America and it's not hard to see why. There are abundant natural gas and propane resources within the United States, estimated to last for nearly a century at least.
Plus, initiatives researching biogas manufactured from waste could significantly augment and extend those natural gas reserves.
While propane and CNG vehicles won't be the last word in clean-energy propulsion, they're still an important step towards fuel systems that are sustainable throughout the 21st Century and less harmful to the planet than gasoline. 2017 is going to see plenty of organizations moving towards alternative fuels. Perhaps it's time to be among them…
Five Signs It's Time to Consider Propane or CNG Vehicles
- You're spending too much on gasoline. While gasoline prices have been volatile, there's little doubt that they're going to go up over time. Conversely, alternative fuels are somewhat more stable. Propane is 30-40% less expensive to run on than gasoline and CNG is consistently between $1-$2 cheaper per gallon, particularly when its higher gas mileage is considered.
- Your vehicles are spending too much time in the shop. Since both propane and CNG burn far more cleanly than gasoline, that means they're easier on your engines. Alt-fuel vehicles generally see significantly less down time for maintenance.
- You want to lower your tax bill. The EPA and the IRS are continually adding more deductions and other incentives for alternative fuel conversion. These can substantially offset costs of the move or even pay for it entirely within a few years, then continue providing tax breaks into the future.
- Your customers want to see green initiatives. Eco-friendly business practices are a significant selling point, particularly among Gen-X and Millennials. Many will go out of their way to support "green" companies even if it means slightly higher prices.
- YOU want to protect the Earth. Forget selling points - we all live and enjoy the same planet. Compressed natural gas burns incredibly clean, with reductions of up to 95% of greenhouse gas emissions compared to gasoline. Propane is also significantly cleaner, reducing harm done to the environment
