Top Ten Reasons to Consider CNG Fuel Vehicles In 2017
Will 2017 be the year of Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) vehicles?  It seems increasingly likely.  The list of reasons to invest in CNG fuel vehicles is growing every day, and the downsides are becoming ever-fewer. Here are some of the Benefits of Choosing CNG Fuel Vehicles:

1. Low gasoline prices won't last forever.  The currently-low prices are mostly due to geo-politics, not supply increases.  When OPEC and other oil-producing nations tire of their trade war, prices could go up rapidly.
   
2. CNG is more readily available.  Compressed Natural Gas is spread fairly evenly around the world and generally requires less effort to obtain than crude oil.  Low prices on CNG will likely remain stable.
   
3. Pure price savings.  Depending on local prices, CNG is up to 50% less expensive than gasoline on a per-mile basis.  These savings can be extended by buying in bulk and installing your own fueling station.
   
4. Easy-pass emissions standards.  Since CNG is far less polluting than gasoline, CNG fuel vehicles pass even the strictest of local environmental regulations with ease. Fueling stations are becoming more common.  Previously one of the biggest arguments against CNG was lack of fueling stations, but there are now hundreds of CNG fuel stations across the US with more being installed every month.  
5. Less engine/parts wear.  CNG is far less rough on engines and other vehicle parts than gasoline.  CNG vehicles start and run more reliably while requiring less maintenance.  Even "minor" items like mufflers last considerably longer with CNG.  We've seen clients reduce maintenance costs by up to 40%.
6. Superior engine and part accountability.  CNG is far less harsh on engines and other vehicle parts than gasoline. CNG vehicles are reliable, while still requiring attention to maintenance some can see a reduce maintenance costs by up to 40%. The GAS difference offers some "minor" items like mufflers and non-electrical components are covered by Green Alternative Systems for full details read CNG installation warranty.
7. Significant tax breaks: Both the IRS as well as many states offer multiple tax credits,  when companies invest in CNG fuel vehicles or other alternative engine types. Receive credits on the fuel itself investing in CNG fuel vehicles, along with other alternative engine types, as well as credits on the fuel itself.
8. Shifting consumer attitudes:  Political views towards gasoline may be complex, but not in the public eye.  Consumers support alternative fuels when possible, as well as companies that embrace them.
   
9. Superior environmentalism.  CNG isn't only less polluting than gasoline while on the road.  Processing "raw" natural gas into usable fuel is less polluting and energy-intensive than gasoline and it also has near-zero emissions during the refueling process. 
   
10. Future-proofing.  Everyone knows gasoline can't last forever.  Companies that invest in alternative fuel systems today will be ahead of the curve for years to come.
