    Very valid point about the design. I'd feel safe calling this the last true civic. No extra nonsense just for looks

      @Chedddur Tipton.. I agree. After this generation, Honda lost it’s design acumen. This generation of Civics and Accords are my favorite.

    If you have a refueling appliance in your garage or stations in your local community and only drive to & from work, this would be the cleanest & lowest petro footprint vehicle in the world bc you don't need to extract & refine petroleum for octane gasoline, which has environmental & geopolitical effects. NG is already readily available in the U.S. and is a much cleaner fuel.

    Hello, I deliver newspapers for a living right now. I put on about 5k miles per month. I actually have an 8th gen Civic with almost 500k miles on it. Do you have any modifications to the engine of this car? How is the reliability compared to gas?

      CNG is great alternative if you have a fuel station near you. I don’t think car manufacturers educated people about CNG cars and government barely supported them. However, in countries like India, CNG cars are very popular.

    Is a CNG car more expensive than gas or diesel car? In all my years of car shopping, I’ve never seen one. They should be front and center, advertised like crazy in these times of quickly rising gas prices and optimism for the green new deal that’s against fossil fuels.

      @JioniDrive  2 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      @leslie Lucci
      They could be a little more expensive than gas powered cars but I believe in the used car market, they’re probably cheaper. Getting CNG is a little bit of an inconvenience.

  • @gsilva220
    @gsilva220 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    CNG is the second best combustible fuel, losing only to hydrogen. The problem is that both are difficult to store and transport, and hydrogen leaks through the gaps of the material that contains it, making it weaker. People use CNG because the cost of the equipment is cheap, and the fuel is also cheap. The range of a CNG car is also proof that the central problem with electric cars is not range, nor infrastructure.
