A few government vehicles run on them, but I've never seen a CNG station for regular citizens. Propane and diesel are products of oil refining, so as the price of a barrel of oil goes up, so does propane and diesel.The Other Mike S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/06797573632181608295noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8939666320943790100.post-83534452166671754222008-06-13T05:18:00.000-07:002008-06-13T05:18:00.000-07:00Hi.

If the oil companies would have directed their greed to natural gas systems - Propane, Butane and so - the problem there in the US would have not been the size it is, and no need for threatening in South America nor promoting unstable situations. The natural gas is a reliable source, one of the few difficulties with it is the handling but it can be overcomed. So it´s a really nice suggestion. Here in Venezuela we´ve been used to it for a long time but now it´s more focused to fleet cars, public transport and some other vehicles of this kind. Gas is one of the energy sources for the future, there´s plenty almost in every country, but the US Neo-Cons elite and the jewish militarist lobby want to keep their power and wealth, the only way they think they can is through the control of the countries with oil. They´re wrong. They´re loosing power quickly, that´s why they are SCARED.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8939666320943790100.post-83412852557622561312008-06-09T10:30:00.000-07:002008-06-09T10:30:00.000-07:00Here in the U.S., this is usually done with propan...Here in the U.S., this is usually done with propane. <BR/><BR/>In Fairbanks, Alaska, the Yellow Cab company used propane taxis for years. They were still running at -70F, but that is probably because the engine heat kept the propane flowing: propane stops vaporizing at about -40.<BR/><BR/>The really great thing about using propane or CNG is that the engine runs so clean that your maintenance costs are almost eliminated. Even if you don't save anything on fuel, the conversion can pay for itself.Ominous Cowherdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04802991559947782419noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8939666320943790100.post-52487933388273142102008-06-07T10:07:00.000-07:002008-06-07T10:07:00.000-07:00FerFal, you rock, brother.

In regard to transportation, beside car and small suv that you comment on, can you also write about other alternative transport experieces like bicycle, moped, motorcycle, and even may be beast of burden in Argentina.

Gasoline, currently $4.19-$4.29 (regular), or Diesel ($5.49-5.99).<BR/><BR/>There are a few douche bags driving around with "POWERED BY BIODIESEL" on the backs of their Jettas, but we know food for fuel isn't the answer.<BR/><BR/>If gas is getting expensive down there, I'd think all types of fuel would go up in price. <BR/><BR/>I filled up our propane tank for the grill a month or so ago and the price had nearly doubled in less than 2 years.<BR/><BR/>Politicians here are blaming speculators, oil companies, etc... too bad none of ever took a course on geology.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
