Hi to All,
I wanted to share this featured story from the Seattle Times front page Sunday paper.

Re: I-5 Green Freeway

Interesting article. It would be nice to have some CNG along major interstates. The depressing thing is to read the comments from readers about the article . With cheap gasoline and a lousy economy, the public has no interest in alternative fuels--or anything else that may or may not affect their pocketbooks. The oil companies and their lobby in government will continue to hold us hostage to gasoline--until the end of oil .

Re: I-5 Green Freeway

This is at least a start - talking about it.
For the typical NGV (without extra tank capacity) such as the Honda Civic GX, to make it from Vancouver B.C. area to about Sacramento or Davis California, I figure it would require two more CNG fueling stations:
at about Eugene Oregon, and another in Redding or Red Bluff California. [There are existing stations in Seattle, Hillsboro-Portland, and Medford Oregon]. Heading from Sacramento to Southern California there is CNG along the way but not directly along I-5.
Maybe a temporary arrangement could be made with State of Oregon and California for use of state owned facilities until the blank spots are filled in.
Maybe paying ca$h only for the state - no credit card hassles!

Maybe there is still hope for the state Washington. Western Washington University at Bellingham is working on a Bio-mentane project with cow poop from Lynden -- who knows

Re: I-5 Green Freeway

Hey Cowboy, I agree with the 500 mile range comment, but most petrol cars have around a 400 mile range.

My F-250 will do about 450 on 35gal of petrol and an additional 275 mi on 30 gal of Lp not bad for a 460 running solo
