Would you be willing to sell the Phil unit separately? I have an 05.
 
Thanks,
 
Matt

I sold the Civic this morning to a guy from Utah WITHOUT the Phill.
 
That means that I do have the Phill for sale. They are $3200 new (plus tax), plus the total rip-off installation charge of at least $1200! I had one guy at my house for 90 minutes, and he was not working hard, and I paid $1200. Used, you can install yourself or pay someone a LOT less. If you switch to the blended rate from SoCal, gas is about $1.30 per gallon.
 
My unit has 2000 hours it. It is working perfectly. I am going to leave it installed until it is sold so people can see it working.
 
I'm thinking $2,000 for the unit - what do you think? They run for 6,000 before requiring a rebuild, and can be rebuilt 3 times, so there are still 22,000 out of 24,000 hours of life left.
 
I really liked the Phill. I got better range, I saved a lot of time, and I cut my fuel bills in half. I'd have to say that the time saving and convenience were more important to me than the money though.

I guess you haven't tried searching LA Craigslist for "Phill" yet.

I responded via the craiglist email about the phill. Are you still willing to sell your phill to me?

Glad you were able to get a great deal on the Phill unit J.L..
 
I live in Cerritos, can I come over sometime to get the good rate for an overnite Phill when you get it set up. : )
 
I have been reading a lot of your helpful posts on this forum about filling up around the Long Beach area. I normally use the facility on Mulberry in SFS (near my work) but the price is $2.64. I have been also using the one in the Gas Co on Rosemead in Pico but today it was $2.45. Neither seem to give me a complete fill (only around 3200 psi at best)
 
Where around us do you get the best fill and value?
 
Thanks,
 
Matt

Matt: I usually get fuel at C.E. in Carson or downtown L.A.
 
High pressure, high reliability and high price. 2 out of 3 ain't bad.
 
Very rare for a C.E. station to be inoperative or have low pressure.
 
Sign up on CNGCHAT.COM and send a pm. I will let you know when I get it hooked up and running.

Price of 2008 Civic GX in Southern California by adrianr

I paid $24,500 for my 2008 Civic GX at Scott Robinson Honda of Torrance. I called all 14-15 Honda dealers in So Cal that carried the Civic GX and all exept Scott Robinson insisted they wanted the full MSRP of $25,225 and would not budge. Naturally, given a choice, a chose to pay less. I am very happy with the '08 Civic GX...and it looks like between the federal tax credit of $4000 and the CA driving alternatives rebate of $3000 (they're out of money now), the price is about what a regular Civic would have cost.
