So we've been telling you all that we were going to convert our car to CNG for almost a year now. Well, we still haven't. The kit is sitting here and the tank arrived last week. But we filled up for under $3 yesterday. You guessed it, we bought a new car(well new to us it's an '02). We just couldn't wait anymore. We've been so busy we decided we just aren't going to get it done as soon as we need a new car. So, we went down to Uintah Alternative fuel vehicles and bought a chevy cavalier that had the CNG system factory installed. It's clean burning and our fuel dollar stays right here in Utah because the natural gas is mined right here. So we are no longer supporting foreign oil companies, YEAH FOR THAT!! Justen put 3/4 of a tank in for $2.58.That takes his daily commute cost from about $13 a day to less than $1 a day. We are pretty excited. There are definately some inconviences with it, we have no trunk, it's pretty gutless (but so is the saturn) and he'll have to fill a couple of times a week because the tank only holds 4 Gallons, but hey, how can you argue with that price. It was costing us over $70 a week to fill the van. So, if anyone is in the market for an old beat up minivan, let us know we have one we're parting with. We love our new car.

Wow! That is amazing. When you said that amount of money, I thought you were just topping off the tank. But natural gas is much cleaner.
I love the John Deere blanket that Garrison is sitting on.
You don't know me, may never heard of me, but I'm RaNae, Justen's mom's cousin. My mom, Aunt Odetta, is Nanny's older sister.
We were at Loraine's today & she was telling me that all her kids have blogs. And she showed me a couple of them. I loved the pictures of all the new grandbabies, so I had to stop by & look around.
Hugz, RaNae
