Recent studies have… Continue

WASHINGTON, D.C.

Billionaire T. Boone Pickens tooled on over to Ben's Chili Bowl on Wednesday in his brightly-painted Honda GX Civic. He owns the car because it's the only model sold in the U.S. that burns compressed natural gas as a fuel.

"It costs me about a dollar a gallon to fuel that car," Pickens told reporters.

Pickens was in town to lend support to legislation that would extend or… Continue
