Minneapolis Honda Civic to go Natural

Compressed natural gas could be the next big fuel source in America

St Richfield, MN (prHWY.com) August 30, 2011 - Electric Vehicles (EVs) have been gaining in popularity for the past few years, but it seems that other fuel sources are being sorely overlooked. Natural gas has been powering vehicles in Europe for quite some time. About 12 million vehicles worldwide run on Compressed Natural Gas (CNG), and soon the US might be embracing it as well. Minneapolis Honda Civic shoppers should be on the lookout, as more and more states embrace natural gas.

America currently only has about 117,000 CNG run vehicles and most are trucks and buses. While gasoline prices keep rising, at the moment CNG costs about half as much per gallon. Honda has realized this and has therefore come out with the 2012 Honda Civic CNG, nee Civic GX. It releases far less harmful emissions than gasoline powered cars. This includes CO2, nitrogen oxides and carbon monoxide.

The American Council for an Energy Efficient Economy (ACEEE) has put the natural gas-powered Civic at the top of the 2011 "Greenest Vehicles" list. Not only that, but in many States with an HOV lane, the Civic CNG has access. Minneapolis Honda Civic shoppers should know that in some cases, tax credits will be honored for buying the car and its fuel. Honda has also created a special gas filler. It's made to work at home, like an electric vehicle charging in your garage.

This Honda Sedan comes with a 113-horsepower, 1.8-lter engine. While small, i-VTEC technology has been incorporated, giving a boost to its performance. Safety wasn't lost in the creation of this nearly emission free Honda. Minneapolis parents will rest easy, knowing that head restraints, front side airbags, side curtain airbags and ABS come standard.
