Re: [DMCForum] Natural Gas Powered Cars WSJ last week

[Bob Brandys <BobB@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Well, it seems like some parts of the world are beating the gasoline 
oil company rip off.

Argentinians, to beat the high oil prices have now converted 1.3  
million cars to compressed natural gas CNG and installed the infra 
structure to support it.   They have significant natural gas reserves 
and want to get rid of their dependence on imported oil.

Brazil has converted 600,000 cars and is increasing.

Poland with 10 million cars has converted 5 million cars.  The get the 
NG from Russia.  In fact, Russia supplies the EU with 25% of its NG.

NG has an octane rating of 130, so you can run much more compression 
and increase engine efficiency.

NG also burn extremely clean and you don't need emission controls.

The US oil companies vented or flares 14 billion cubic feet  of  
natural gas the last year of record 1991.   Gee, if we did not waste 
this natural gas, how less oil would be have to import?  Why are these 
records no longer available?
