"Natural Gas" can be interpreted in different ways across the globe. It also provides energy to different kinds of machines and even facilities. What do you think about a car powered on natural gas? This technology has been around for ages, and Honda is still creating their Honda Civic models available with CNG (Compressed Natural Gas) Option at dealers, including Honda of Bowie - 2260 Crain Hwy - Bowie, MD 20716.

Honda recently announced the official pricing of the new 2012 Civic Natural Gas variant. Coming in with a base MSRP of $26,155 the car will show up at over 200 dealerships throughout the United States (in 38 states) and also throughout Canada.

There are many different advantages to driving a car powered on Natural Gas. One of the top benefits is cost. Natural gas costs about thirty percent less than gasoline and produces barely any smog-forming emissions. Best of all, Civic CNG hits 27 mpg city, 38 mph highway for a combined total of 31 mpg. In some states, including California, CNG vehicles can travel in carpool lanes, regardless of the number of occupants.

Civic Natural Gas is powered by a modified version of the 1.8-liter four-cylinder engine in regular Civic models, matted to a five-speed automatic transmission.

The Japanese business magazine, Nikkei, stated that "the decision to sell the natural gas Civic throughout the United States is in response to increased interest in green cars and fuel efficient cars."¹
