I’ve spent a week commuting with my CNG Cavalier and have gathered some interesting data. I’ve traveled 809 miles solely on natural gas, averaged 29.013 mpg, and spent an average $1.609 per gallon on fuel. The full week’s commuting cost me $44.86.
By comparison, with an average mpg of 30.714, and an average gasoline price of $3.299, the Fiero would have cost $86.90. With an average mpg of 13.84, the Ram would have cost $192.84.
Driving my NGV cost 52% of the Fiero cost, and 23% of the Ram cost. A-freakin’-mazing!
Want to be more amazed? I thought so. My Harley gets 48 miles to the gallon, however it takes premium gasoline. At today’s prices, and if I was dumb enough to ride in the snow and ice, it would cost me $57.62 to commute with it. That’s right, the Cavalier costs me 78% of what my Hog would cost.
