I have a spreadsheet that I used that takes into account electricity, the FM rebuild, cost of NG and calculates your saving. It is adjustable by MPG your car gets and you can see the savings. Because I drive a lot for my business I save almost $6000 per year in fuel cost. Anyone who wants the spread sheet just email me at murphycngmotors.com. I have unprotected the sheet so you can adjust any of the figures to get an accurate account.

Best cost for natural gas? by skierrob

Anyone have a good idea of what stations in the LA area (specifically around Santa Monica or Long Beach) have the best prices for natural gas? Just got a Civic yesterday... saw one station around Cerritos selling for $2.04 and then one in Long Beach at $2.22.
Right now, my plan is to use Mastercard / Visa, but are there other "hidden" stations (or cheaper stations) that I could access along the 405 from LB to Santa Monica by getting a 3rd party card (like they have in Vegas with Haycock Petroleum)?
Thanks for any advice... as I said, I'm totally new at this and haven't even filled up the tank once yet!

murphy has been kind enough to post the prices that people email him on his company's website. no promises they are 100% current all the time, as he relies on people to inform him.

It is best to just check out the stations in your area, or the common route you drive. I have a station (Moreno Valley) that is a bit out of the way, and now is only 2 cents less than my local (Hemet) station so it is not worth the inconvienience. Also reliability, such as the station in Ontario, last check it was 1.72 but of the five or so times I went there, twice the card reader would not connect, and the (only 3,000psi) fills are not that good.
I have never had any other stations that I could not get fuel.
Murphy had been posting the fuel prices on his site, but I dont think many too prices are up to date. www.cngmotors.com
For locations check out http://www.cleancarmaps.com and Yahoo group http://autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/civicgxngv/ there is a pdf file with calif stations.
I usually post the prices of the stations I visit on the first day of the month when they adjust the prices. This month Clean Energy bumped their prices up on the 15th, their current price is 2.229 (Long Beach, Garden Grove, Moreno Valley) check their site for more locations.

I think the " Cerritos' station is actually california clean fuels on Woodruff in the school parking lot. it is run by Dickson sweeper co. Virtually all the other la / oc
stations are run by clean energy and this includes most So Cal gas company locations.
 
I am # 20 on the Phill AQMD $2000 grant list. The only reason I'm finally getting one is convenience. Even with the govmn't grant money, and tax credit , real cost is after equipment purchase, install , refurb cost and electricity is not much less than the clean energy station prices.

I did my taxes, and my wife and I got hit by the Alternative Minimum tax. The worst part was because of this, we lost the $4000 credit for buying the GX. I am putting in the phill, and the $2000 AQMD Grant is a big reason (I am #13 on the list . I assume that I will not qualify for the $1000 Income tax credit because of the AMT. This tax on the rich is reaching further and further into the middle class. My wife and I are teachers, so it's not like we are rolling in money...

Filled this morning in Placentia, first time I got a lousy fill there. It put the gauge up the full tick mark.
