    I think it would be oober badass if you could rig up your own Natual Gas compressor in your garage piped into your houses Natual Gas tap for heat and appliaces and have your own fill station :) Natual Gas is cheap as hell and piped right to your house.

    yup, propane here isn't cheap any more. it's still around 1.80 a gallon here I think, and I doubt you'd get the same mileage as burning gasoline so it probably ends up being about the same price overall as gas

    a lot of cars in asia do it to save hella gas. most older taxis have it done in bangkok, thailand. makes your car a lot slower though...

    wow, just noticed this is a thai vvt-i forums equivalent, that's pretty cool
