Natural gas burns cleaner in engines than gasoline and diesel, which results in reduced maintenance costs and less wear and tear on the engine and components.
On average, the cost of CNG is 40 – 50% less than gasoline and 60% less than diesel.
Vehicles fueled by natural gas have a higher initial purchase price than that of gasoline or diesel vehicles. The extra cost is offset by the lower fuel and maintenance costs of natural gas over the life of the vehicle. Payback periods for high-mileage fleet vehicles are even shorter.
