Planning on ordering a GX this week, these blogs have been great. This will be the first GX sold in Alaska in seven years, about time we got back on the CNG wagon.
When I was working for a oil company up here a few years ago we had a CNG station for a few years and it was an economic disaster. Sold the the cascade system to Trillian as is where is. That was the only public station in Alaska. With unleaded at 4.30 gal I think I can make CNG work for my daily commuter.
The way I see the cost...
I drive my civic 40,000 a year /35 mpg X $4.30 gal = $4,914 in gasoline
Natural Gas is $.87 per ccf = 1.08 gge + .20 elect + .18 service cost FMQ 2-36.
All in w/o purchase cost of FMQ2-36 = $1.46 gge
CNG civic 40,000 a year/ 33 mpg X $1.46 gge = $1,769 in natural gas.
Is this math good ??
How do GX's work in cold weather ?
Any other advice for a first timer who's only way to fuel will be at home. The only other place to get fuel except Gov fleet....is an old place that fills boat tanks with 3000 psi
