>>I wouldn't put my money into CNG. Liquid fuels are much better for vehicles<<

But we have a HUGE shortage of oil in the USA, and we are paying $700 billion a year to import oil. Now it appears that we have a HUGE surplus of natural gas. If true, the economics will relentlessly push us to use it for transportation.

We can also easily make a lot of very high quality, clean liquid fuel from natural gas.

Chevron has used natural gas for decades to lighten up heavy oil (too many carbons) in the refining process (the natural gas adds hydrogens), not to mention it generates most of the electricity actually generated in California.
