I have a 2001 Honda Gx in Colorado Springs. There are two stations in Colorado Springs, one in Castle Rock, several in Denver and two in Boulder. The one in COS (near Platte & Circle) has gone down a couple of times and I had to use one on the Fort Carson Army Base. Since I go by the station four times a week it is not a hassle for me. It is nice paying so little for gas.

What are the prices there? I'd like to add CO prices to my website

Right now they are about $1.70 (including taxes).

Randy:
 
The CO tax breaks are great for a GX. Around 6k state and 4k federal. I'm also considering a purchase. Actually, I'm convinced, I just need to convince the wifey.
 
With a few stations as there are, I think a phill will be a good idea.
 
Thanks,

Thinking of a new 2008 Civic GX by liderbug

I'm thinking of replacing a 94 Mitz (150k) with a 2008 GX. I checked with Aquila (gas co) and got "A what? Runs on What? Who's Phil?" - Checked the DMV - on hold for 10 min before "Hmmm, seems there is a category for NG - should register ok (we hope)". Talked to one of the dealers - "No, none in stock. Would have to check with management to see it they would/could special order one in."
 
So, here's the question(s): If I got a GX (I like the tea green) that would make how many of us in the COS area? 2? 3? Do you think I could get one local or would I have to order one from Calif and have it shipped? Thoughts on convincing "She who must be obeyed". (who was researching 'commitment papers' the other day).

If you really want one, Call Vince Strand at DCH Gardena Honda in Gardena California. He has one in Tea green on the lot now. Tell him J.L. with the white 01 GX in for service on monday sent you.
 
 Shipping should be about $600 if you shop around.
 
The only problem to think about , is a Honda CNG certified tech, if an issue with warranty service on the fuel system comes up.

It is my understanding that they do not sell Gx's in Colorado. When I took mine to the dealer to buy a part the Service Tech indicated that he had never worked on one before. I have run into several CNG cars in COS, usually at the CNG gas station. One of the PPLD Bookmobiles uses CNG and I see it at the station quite often. I do not know if there is an installer for the PHILL in COS. I originally looked into one but it was too much - there was no financial payback. I think you would enjoy it - you just have to gas up at only one place in town. It is located on Tia Juana (about 1/2 block from Fargo's Pizza off of Platte near Circle). If the gas station is way out of your normal driving that might be a hassle. I drive close to there four times a week - so it is easy for me. I purchased mine used from out of state and had it shipped here.

Orig poster didn't go GX - went Hybrid by liderbug

Because there is only 1 pump in town I did some more research and bought a Civic Hybrid. As much as I wanted the GX I'm very happy with the hybrid. I'm getting 55-56 MPG and it keeps getting better. I expect to get a 600 mile tank soon (10gal tank).

You're missing the boat and still giving your money to a foreign cartel...too bad.
 
The Civix GX is the way to go, and the Element NGV is in the works. Fill at home for a buck a gallon. Natural gas prices just dropped ~40% in a month. I have saved ~$10 in fuel over the last three years by filling at home. Have you looked at the tax benefits? I just bought a 2008 GX and will be selling my 2-yr old 2007 GX FOR A PROFIT.

Element NGV ??? by hihostevo

I am currently driving a gasoline Element and doing research on the Civic GX.
 
One of the big issues is the carrying capacity of the GX for me. An Element that ran CNG would be terrific! Don't suppose you have any idea or links as to when it might be released?
