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

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.
