Natural gas vehicles are an environmentally friendly alternative to traditional gasoline-powered cars. The Advantage of Natural Gas Natural gas vehicles run on compressed natural gas, often referred to as CNG. This transportation fuel is used by more than 120,000 vehicles in the United States and is a clean-burning alternative to gasoline. On average, CNG costs less than gasoline, and in Texas, CNG is currently selling for about $2 per gasoline gallon equivalent! But CNG is more than just affordable – it’s environmentally friendly, too. Natural gas vehicles produce significantly fewer pollutants than gasoline vehicles and have little or no emissions during fueling. According to the U.S. Department of Energy, using cars that run on natural gas instead of gasoline can reduce smog-producing gases, such as carbon monoxide and nitrogen oxides, by more than 90 percent and 60 percent, respectively. A Variety of Vehicle Options Natural gas vehicles are available at authorized dealerships in an increasing variety of models, including dedicated (fueled only by CNG) and bi-fuel (fueled by both CNG and gasoline). Dedicated CNG and extended range bi-fuel sedans, pick-ups and vans may be found at specific dealerships or converted at certified conversion centers. You can find locations of CNG filling stations throughout the country on the U.S. Department of Energy’s website at www.afdc.energy.gov/locator/stations.

Gas Natural Comprimido: Una Alternativa Inteligente
El clima empieza a calentar, y quizás usted está anticipando un viaje en automóvil este verano. Pero antes de llenar el tanque degasolina, podría ser tiempo para considerar una opción de combustible más limpia. Los vehículos a gas natural son respetuososal medio ambiente y una alternativa a los automóviles tradicionales de gasolina.
La Ventaja del Gas NaturalLos vehículos a gas natural funcionan con gas natural comprimido, comúnmente conocido comoGNC (CNG, por sus siglas en inglés). Este combustible para transporte es utilizado por más de120,000 vehículos en Estados Unidos y es una alternativa de combustión limpia ante el uso degasolina. En promedio, el GNC es más económico que la gasolina y, actualmente en Texas, ¡elequivalente a un galón de gasolina cuesta alrededor de $2!
El GNC es mucho más que económico – el GNC es, también, un combustible ecológico. Losvehículos a gas natural producen significativamente menos contaminantes que los vehículos agasolina, y no emiten o emiten muy pocos gases mientras llena el tanque. Según el Departamentode Energía de los Estados Unidos, usando los vehículos a gas natural en vez de los a gasolinapueden reducir los gases que producen smog, como por ejemplo el monóxido de carbono y losóxidos de nitrógeno, por más de 90 y 60 por ciento, respectivamente.
Una Variedad de Opciones de VehículosCada día hay una mayor variedad de vehículos a gas natural disponibles en los distribuidores autorizados, incluyendo losvehículos dedicados (que únicamente utilizan GNC) y los bi-combustible (que utilizan tanto GNC como gasolina). Los vehículosdedicados al GNC y todo tipo de vehículo bi-combustible, incluyendo sedanes, pick-ups y camionetas, se pueden encontrar enalgunos distribuidores específicos o se pueden convertir en centros de conversión autorizados.
Puede encontrar un listado de estaciones de abastecimiento de GNC en todo el país en la página de internet del Departamento de Energía www.afdc.energy.gov/fuels/natural_gas_locations.html. Para más información acerca de los vehículos a gas natural y las opciones de conversión, por favor visite las páginas de internet www.texasgasservice.com/cng o www.NGVAmerica.org.
