I don't know if it is true or not, but I read a comment today that natural gas powers more cars in Utah than anywhere else in the country. The pump price is $1.25 gal.

In Utah, you'll find 23 local gas stations in 17 cities that you can fill up your Natural Gas Vehicle with CNG Fuel (Compressed Natural Gas). Below you'll find a handy list of these CNG Station Locations, as well as links to more information on other alternative fuels.


Utah CNG Stations for Natural Gas

Conversion of large vehicles to natural gas shouldn't be hard. But I don't recall the volume multiplier to gas, but its substantial and unworkable for smaller vehicles even using high pressure tanks.

The price of fuel is affected by more than just supply and demand. Fuel is on the commodity market, so any hint of a supply shortage will bid the price up. Currently Iran has blocked oil shipments to GB and France, and there are concerns about a conflict and them blocking the straights of Hormuz. Investors are betting in short supply and higher prices. If they are wrong, it will drop as fast as it went up eventually.

Another common misconception is that our domestic production is isolated to north america. It's a world market. So, if we drill bably drill and maximize our production it will only affect prices as much as it can affect the amount of worldwide supply vs demand. I heard Newt during a speech in Oklahoma I think, saying increasing production here could drop the price by $2 a gallon. I think he is blowing smoke up someones tush.
"The price of fuel is affected by more than just supply and demand."

Of course it is. Politics too drives up demand.

"It's a world market."

Of course it is--are we in agreement? :72:
