Saw this in the paper - the new 2006 Honda Civic GX due on sale in the US in their Autumn. It runs on compressed natural gas (CNG). This is different to LPG, apparantly Australia has a large abundance of CNG which comes straight out of the ground and requires no refining.
In summary: - 115hp 1.7 litre CNG engine - Re-fuel it at home. Honda install a "station" in your garage. - Fuel cost is approx 6.6 cents a litre in Aussie money compared to petrol. - produces near zero emissions. - RRP is $21000 US I should add that half of Sydney's (STA) bus fleet is currently CNG (so no issue on fuel supply here). Link Seems pretty good to me....especially if they made a V8 with it.
