Consumer availability of natural gas vehicles in the U.S. market tends to be very limited. The only regularly available factory CNG car on sale right now is the Honda Civic GX and that's only available in California and New York. Other than that it's pretty much third party conversions. Wise Gas is now teaming up with Altech-Eco to offer EPA-certified bi-fuel Ford Focuses to consumers in Florida. The Focus is powered by the standard 2.0-liter four cylinder and can be manually switched by the driver between CNG and gasoline.
Wise Gas is also in the permitting process for the first public compressed natural gas filling station somewhere in south Florida. The company also wants to offer consumers home CNG filling systems like the Phill offered by Honda to Civic GX buyers. The bi-fuel Focus has a range of 218-318 miles on a tank of CNG plus whatever you can get out of the gasoline. Altech-Eco offers an 8 year-80,000 mile warranty and the Focus starts at $24,495.
