CNG should be considered

I would really like to see GM offer a CNG powered 1/2 ton and 3/4 ton pick up. We need pickups to work out of and this is the only way to make it work. We have to have V-8 power to pull with. Where is it? I have worked all over the world and CNG is out there. Why not in the US?

the govt has not figured out a way to tax it. all is needed is a compressor and you can do it at home. i own gas wells and i would also like to see them because i get lots of free gas i don't use. the gas company trucks around here run on it.

The conversion kits will kill your warranty that day from what I understand. Also the government not knowing how to tax it is a big plus. Nothing new really. All they know is they want money, not a good deal for the consumer.
