As I understand it, Natural gas can power cars and can be stored in gas stations as they currently exist with replacement of their storage and dispensing equipment. Any car on the road right now that runs on gas can be converted to NG for about $5000 and, if manufactured for that purpose in quantity, the cost and performance is about equal. We have a bunch of natural Gas in the USA.
And Honda will sell you the Civic which runs on it. Natural gas is easy, and you are right, we have a bunch of it.

Works for me. The daughter and I are debating which is best for the planet, a full EV like the Leaf, or a Volt. American suburbia is perfect for these kinds of vehicles.
