Re: Oil billionaire Pickens and NGVs & UTs Low Pressure
Yep, just saw commercial today 7/8/08 on cable TV where T Boone Pickens was touting wind power, along with domestic natural gas, as solution to oil imports that were 20% in 1970, then 42% in 1990 and now over 70%. T Boone said in commercial that he would offer more information later on the solution . . . my guess is nationwide rollout of natural gas, and have USA carmakers sell cng cars. I hope this really happens, but we still MUST keep Clean Energy from overcharging cng customers.

Let's see. Really cheap fuel. Cars flooding into the state. Not much of a surprise. They can't even keep the pressure up at some stations in So Cal. A home pump is really the way to go for day to day CNG.02 GX

Now, I don't want to get off topic, Boone Pickens was also on CBS Evening News with Katie Couric last night talking about his "Pickens Plan".Last edited by Highmarker; 07-09-2008, 07:40 AM.Jared.

Re: Oil billionaire Pickens and NGVs & UTs Low Pressure
What YOU don't understand is that 500psi CNG at $.85 is a LOT more expensive than 3600 psi CNG at any price because it means you can't drive the car
(if it's dedicated, or you end up using gasoline if it's bifuel).
This problem is likely to get worse in Utah.
I use my home pump as much as possible now because it's a lot less expensive. When the prices were closer, I still used it a lot, but I would fill at public stations whenever it was CONVENIENT.Last edited by freedml; 07-09-2008, 01:01 PM.02 GX
