Anyone out there own a Civic GX?
I was looking at the 2008 Fuel Economy Guide yesterday and saw that the price of an equivalent gallon of compressed natural gas (CNG) is about $1.68 now. The GX currently costs less to run on CNG than a Prius does on gas.
Anybody have a GX? I wonder what modifications Honda had to make its 1.8L engine to run on CNG. How difficult would it be to retrofit a gasoline engine to run it? It would be really cool to see the shop manual on this car.
The GX was also named the most green vehicle in 2008 but I forgot the name of the organization who bestowed the honor on the car.
The GX has been sold only in CA and to government fleets.
