A mini mart in the Towanda area cut the ribbon on new compressed natural gas pumps. Compressed natural gas, or CNG, is an alternative to the gasoline many of us have been using for ages. It comes from drilling in the Marcellus Shale and is now being delivered right to the pumps at the Dandy Mini Mart near Towanda. Instead of pumping gasoline from the pumps, it is compressed natural gas meant to fuel cars and trucks designed for it. Visit WNEP for full article

TomT2Lee Champion Author Cincinnati Posts:5,357 Points:1,597,230 Joined:Sep 2005	Message Posted: Jan 18, 2013 7:36:56 PM Ignore TomT2Lee Report Abuse It isn't that natural gas as a fossil fuel source isn't important; you have to look at the infrastructure to get a firm grip on reality when it comes to trying to widely use natural gas as a fuel source for vehicles. Natural gas could be added to fuel stations, but it is going to cost, a lot to do. Without having natural gas a a large percentage of fuel stations, people will have to drive extra miles to fill up. Then there is the issue of the vehicle conversion cost. To me, the numbers do not spell success for natural gas in vehicles.
