Re: CNG in 3rd gen?
Expensive to convert, poopy mileage, limited fill up stations.
I looked into it a while back for my wife's car. We have a ton of CNG stations, and it is 95 cents for a gallon equivalent. The down side is it would no longer be road trip friendly. Also the trunk kinda disappears and becomes the new tank setup. On the other hand, the engine will basically live forever, and your resale value will actually go up.
Do a LOT of research before you decide.....

I've heard you can set up for bi fuel running.Push of a button and it changes from one fuel to the other.I'd give up my trunk.I did hear also HP goes down.But if the push of a button thing works and gas prices go up,It night be worth a try.
