djgunrunner Champion Author Salt Lake City Posts:10,104 Points:2,349,580 Joined:Apr 2005	Message Posted: Jan 6, 2013 5:14:09 AM Ignore djgunrunner Report Abuse This is not some big news flash. The bad thing is that we could hold the price of gas down by using more Natural Gas. The bad thing about using Natural Gas is the conversions on existing care are about $3,500.00 too much for a a bi fuel. The the that make Natural Gas even worse is that obama will never support it due to his own agenda. They are even worse if you by a factory truck for Government Motors or Chrysler. If you are dumb enough to believe in coincidence then you will believe that they both came up with the same $11,000.00 option price for a new truck with factor bi fuel capability. If you are dumb enough to believe that then you might consider buying one. The rest of us with the sense the lord gave a soda cracker will wait until they quit smoking funny green stuff.
