Interesting idea but considering that places like India uses about 60-70 percent CNG in all their vehicles...it is an effective marketing tool.
Question: Right now compressed natural gas is running at $2.23 at the City of Austin CNG station. How does this $2.23 per gallon compare to the real cost of regular unleaded which is quoted only slightly higher than $2.23?
If CNG costs 40 percent less than regular gasoline to operate, please explain the math behind this?

Two-Wheeled Natural Gas Power
Built to show America the promise of natural gas as a clean energy resource, and in conjunction with Chesapeake Energy’s 20th anniversary, the talented crew from the hit TV show American Chopper partnered with the company to build a natural gas-powered bike. The episode covered the bike’s production process as Paul Sr. and crew visited a drilling rig and learned how natural gas can power everything from a semitruck to a custom chopper.
The bike sports OCC’s usual 117-cubic-inch V-twin engine, six-speed transmission and belt drive. Unlike other OCC choppers, this one features a regulator rather than a carburetor and a “fogger” to feed gas to the engine. In addition, the chopper’s gas gauge reads in pounds per square inch instead of gallons.
Adorned with drillbit-inspired handlebars, the blue and green bike is on a U.S. tour to help educate the public on the benefits of natural gas as a clean, abundant, affordable, American fuel.
