Bi-FUEL CNG

MISSION STATEMENT
This group is dedicated to promoting Bi-Fuel CNG/Gasoline vehicles as the most immediately viable option for energy independence. We are here to network and engage in strategic partnering to promote business opportunities.

WHY Bi-Fuel CNG/Gasoline Cars ?????
A bi-fuel car has a standard factory gasoline tank which allows normal driving ranges on gasoline and will never leave you stranded. "Dedicated" CNG cars run solely on CNG, and are challenged by thier limited driving range; lack of public refueling stations and the extent to which their trunk storage space is compromised by the large CNG tanks. Hydrogen fuel cells and electric vehicles are still in developmental programs and they are not yet practical solutions based on their refueling/rechargin challenges, limited range and purchase price. They also face challenges of inventing super capacity batteries, hydrogen extractions and reduced power engines. The electric car will not be practical until we expand the power plant infrastructure to handle the load.

CNG-First50
An immediately viable strategy is to burn CNG for the First50 miles of daily driving while using a reduced size 5 litre gas tank or 3 GGE (gal/gas/equivalent). This will replace the car's average daily mileage of 42 miles/day = 15,000 miles/ year . When you apply it to daily driving, 50 miles/day on CNG will likely reduce your gasoine consumption by up to 50%. Nationally implemented, this reduction could eliminate 8.5 million barrels of imported oil per day and lower our imports from 12 milion to 3.5 million barrels, which we can buy from Canada and Mexico until other forms of energy are perfected.

Here is why First50 will work:

- National Average commuter drives 42 miles/day = 15,000 miles / year
- First50 eliminates 50% to 100% of the car's avg. daily gasoline usage
- 60 million households are supplied natural gas
- A national pipeline distribution network already exists for natural gas
- Refueling at home would eliminate need for national CNG refueling stations
- A 5 litre [ 3 GGE ] tank requires minimal trunk area
- Standard range gasoline tank ensures you will not get stranded on long trips
- Create a soft landing for refining industry as compared to total switch to another energy source.
