| I went to an auction recently where there were several Civic GX's for sale ('00 and '01). I considered buying, but had some concerns. Can one expect as many miles form these cars as from a gasoline powered Civic? I've learned that the range for these cars is about 180 miles. I've got a commute of about 90 miles per day. Is having an additional tank an option? The home filling dI'd also be interested in hearing which model ('00 vs. '01) is preferred. | |
I have an '07 civic. I get about 180 a tank, but I fill at a station. I could get another 10 miles pretty easy. If you get a home fill unit, you can expect about 10% increase in fill capacity (it is rather complicated, but a fast fill involves increasing the temp of the gas, which decreases the amount of Natural Gas in a 3600 PSI tank. By filling slower at home, you are able to fill cooler, which allows more Gas in the 3600 psi). You can get an additional tank. There is a dealer online here who sells cars and will add a 3 gge tank for about $500 if you buy the car from him. As for how long it will last, your guess is as good as anyones. I hear that the cleaner fuel will result in longer engine life... as long as you take care of it (oil change, so on). I love my civic, I only wish I had gotten 2 older used ones over 1 new one. That way my wife wouldn't fight me over who gets the new car.

Replying to: tboehme (May 01, 2007 11:01 am) I bought my car, a CNG Crown Vic, in Kentucky and had it shipped to me in California. I got a great deal, my car had 777 miles and cost me $18,000 (including shipping) – sticker price was $34,000. I can also tell you that it is highly unlikely you will find a better deal on an extra tank fitted. Just my two cents.

Replying to: bank1avp (May 03, 2007 4:57 pm) Might get told off - wrong topic etc., but... I think you posted that you had a bunch of FMQs - can you say how much you are letting them go for? BTW - can I have your tri fuel Excursion when you are done with it?  Alan. |
