OH: Youngstown CNG Station

Written by Greg Russell | Jun 6, 2013 10:20:31 AM

The Youngstown Vindicator is reporting on the construction of the area's first CNG filling station:  "Compressed natural gas, which is stored onboard a vehicle in cylinders at a pressure of between 3,000 and 3,600 pounds per square inch, has about the same fuel economy as a conventional gasoline vehicle, but it sells for far less. According to the U.S. Department of Energy, the U.S. national average for CNG on Tuesday was $2.10 per gasoline gallon equivalent — $1.51 less than a gallon of regular-grade gasoline."

Interesting.
