They are more expensive and finding a fueling station can be difficult in many areas. I don't need to continue this, I just don't understand, that's all. |

Replying to: epnfrn (May 29, 2007 9:35 am) Any competent Honda salesperson ("Internet" or otherwise) would have known at least the following about the Honda Civic GX: Clean air vehicle US$4,000 federal tax rebate Lower cost for natural gas fuel HOV access, free tolls, free meter parking (where available) It may not be your favourite car, but there's no need to be such a put-down...

Replying to: dcba (May 29, 2007 3:06 pm) Wrong on the flame wars. I'm pretty easy going. I do understand the plusses. As suggested, I went to that other forum and have discovered that fuel is much more available in other parts of the country. Where I am, they are almost non-existant. |

Replying to: dcba (May 29, 2007 3:06 pm) To keep this somewhat relavent to the topic discussion. Those of you that have been watching my site for price updates have probably noticed it has not been updated in a while. I had computer issues and I'm back up and running again so send in those updates. This time around I will include the price and last updated date. Murphy CNG Motors

Replying to: bank1avp (May 29, 2007 6:13 pm) my justification for the GX -- i have a 40mi commute in the Bay Area, crossing 2 bridges in the process. with the GX, i get to use the carpool lane (this saves me about 1 hour roudtrip per day -- value to me at my salary ~$50). those 2 bridges at $4/each = $8 that i DON'T have to pay in the GX. my other car (a S2000) gets maybe 25mpg, at $3.70/gallon (premium), my GX consistently gets 40mpg at about $1.95. so, cost to drive my S2000/day = $19.84 + $50 time lost cost to drive natty gas GX = $3.90 with about 4 CNG stations along my route, availability isn't a problem. oh, and by the way, the GX is the cleanest burning car on the planet! there are all kinds of things i don't like ... what's the opposite of sporty? 250mi range, ect, ect ... but hands down, FOR ME, the GX is the ultimate commuter car! the S2000 fills in all the gaps the GX can't, so I feel pretty lucky to have the best of both worlds. epi

Replying to: epnfrn (May 30, 2007 8:29 am) You answered my question. I no longer live in California but I'm a native So. Californian and I did live and work in the Bay Area for four years and I remember the traffic. I'm sure someone will jump in and correct me but the last time I checked there were only a couple of places in the entire Seattle/Puget Sound area that sold natural gas. And, we can't use the carpool lanes like you can. I can see that would be a major plus for you. We get zero interest in GX's but I can see why you bought yours. Thanks!

Replying to: isellhondas (May 30, 2007 8:47 am) I drive about 620 miles a week, have a reliable 24/7 CNG station close to my home, so it was a no-brainer. For all the money I save on fuel, I can afford to rent a car if I want to drive out of state. Until an affordable electric car is available that can make my 140 mile round trip commute, I will stick with my GX. J |
