Businesses in particular are looking toward using alternative gas because they are cheaper, more environmentally conscious, and provide access to attractive [incentives](http://www.afdc.energy.gov/laws) provided by both State and Federal governments--including considerable tax reductions and exemptions. For businesses that find themselves in such a situation, a better alternative may be converting their current fleets to using natural gas systems. The upfront costs of conversion may seem daunting, but most companies that convert to alternative fuel see the investment paid back quickly.
