   According to Popular Science (a leading source of science and technology news) the Honda Civic GX is “the highest performing investment one could hope for.” Their conclusion was based on a long-term evaluation “to test the viability of a Natural-Gas vehicle in daily driving” and to evaluate the home refueling station that fuels the Honda Civic GX overnight.

   GX Cost: $27,500
   (includes license, registration and DMV fees)

   Tax Credit: -$4,000

   Total Cost $23,500
   Note: I am not sure the interest cost over 5 year period

   Fuel: $7,475
   (based on average 500 gge/yr X $2.99/gge)

   Maintenance: $160
   (oil change every 10,000 miles)

   Insurance:$5,500
   (five year total)

   5Year Cost Analysis $36,635
   (w/o interest)

   With nearly zero emissions, The American Council for Energy-Efficient Economy called the GX the cleanest-burning internal-combustion vehicle on Earth! Such environmental benefits coupled with the low fuel costs-about $1.20-$1.40 per gallon made this GX the smart investment.

   @clean_burning: this is particularly true, as with the compression ratio and better burn properties, NGV will be nearly zero emissions. We CS do notice a jump of NGV conversion lately.
