If you're unfamiliar with CNG engines, here's a rundown: CNG vehicles have the same engines as standard gasoline-powered vehicles. Only the fuel storage (tanks) and delivery systems (injectors and ECU, or engine control unit) are different. Maintenance for CNG vehicles is the exact same as for a gasoline vehicle.
Filling stations are not as common as gas stations, but in my area (San Francisco bay area) they are plentiful. PG&E has filling stations all around here and the major airports all have filling stations for all of the shuttles buses and many of the taxis run on CNG.
Native CNG: this means it was not a vehicle originally made to run on gasoline and converted to use CNG, but rather one designed at the factory to run only on CNG. These "native CNG vehicles qualify for single-occupant (driver) in the HOV (carpool) lane and 1/2 price bridge tolls until June 2015.
13 Gasoline-Gallon-Equivalent (GGE) tankage means a 180 mile range between fill-ups, which are only $27-30 @ $2.19-2.31 per GGE, almost half the price of the gasoline equivalent, and still 20-30% cheaper to run than diesel at current CNG ($2.24)/gasoline (~$3.89)/diesel (~$4.19) rates.
Standard (most common) length
Slider side door
Cruise control works very well
A swing-door divider is installed and available, but I want $150 extra for it or I'll just transfer it to my diesel van.
Puck style locks means that while a would-be thief could break the window, he still couldn't open the doors and would have to climb in and out over the broken glass.
Shelving - Two steel shelves on the driver's side - 5' x 2' each w/ 4" fence all around
Tires have good tread, better than 1/4" all around, plenty of tread before the "wear bars".
Has A/C, but it doesn't "blow cold", I never had it looked into.
Quite clean - More pictures coming soon, when I clean it out.

2014 Ford Fiesta 1.0L EcoBoost
Fri, 09 May 2014I'll be honest; when Ford first unveiled its 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6, I was skeptical. Past attempts at building turbocharged American cars were almost universally awful, I reasoned, so why would Ford's latest effort be any different? This may seem foolish today, considering the success that the growing EcoBoost range has achieved - particularly the 2.0-liter and 1.6-liter mills. Yet I once again found myself questioning Ford.
It's the makeup of the 1.0-liter, turbocharged three-cylinder slotted into the compact engine bay of this Fiesta that has a way of breeding doubt. Three-cylinder engines remain an extreme rarity in the US. What's more, they earned a less-than-desirable reputation for applications in the 1980s and 1990s, and my trepidation about this latest three-pot as a result.
As I found out, though, history is a poor informant of modern technology. The thrust available in other cars with the EcoBoost badge on the back has not gone missing here; something the International Engine of the Year committee has lauded. That august body named the 1.0-liter Ecoboost the best engine of 2012 and 2013. After a week of driving, it didn't take long for my fear of threes to get turned into something like that line of thinking.
How the 2015 Ford Mustang will save your knees
Sat, 21 Jun 2014The 2015 Mustang is one of the most hotly anticipated vehicles of the moment, and Ford continues to leak out interesting little details about its newest pony car. The latest info doesn't have anything to do with its quarter-mile time or handling, but if any of that goes drastically wrong, the innovative new glovebox-mounted airbag may prevent passengers from knee injuries.
All variants of the 2015 Mustang get the active knee airbag as standard, and it's the first vehicle in Ford's lineup to receive the system. The setup is actually quite simple and ingenious. The glovebox is made from a plastic outer panel that is attached to the inner door. Sandwiched between them is this new injection-molded plastic bladder that folds flat when in use. If the passenger-side airbag deploys, the system springs into action to act as a cushion for your knees. Compared to a traditional knee airbag that has to fully inflate, this arrangement is 65 percent lighter and can use a 75 percent smaller inflator. It's also basically invisible when you look at the glovebox door.
Ford spokesperson Ed Saenz declined to tell Autoblog whether the system will appear in other vehicles in the Blue Oval's lineup but said, "We're considering other applications." Provided it's effective, the approach seems too simple not to make its way to other products. Scroll down to watch a video showing how the glovebox-mounted knee airbag works.
2013 Shelby 1000 unleashes its 1,200 horsepower ahead of NY show reveal
Fri, 22 Mar 2013True story: Last fall, I had the opportunity to spend a week with Ford's new 2013 Shelby GT500 - the Blue Oval's factory Mustang with 662 horsepower and 631 pound-feet of torque. It's an amazing beast, to be sure. I'm not sure if it was Michigan's damp streets strewn with potholes and wet leaves, but at no point did I ever say to myself, "You know, Ford is on to a really good thing here, but what it really needs is about twice the power." And yet, for people in warmer climes with infrastructure in better nick - or for those whose muscle cars live their lives out on the track, there's apparently sufficient demand to warrant just such a beast.
Quick studies will recall that Shelby American launched its 1000 last year to commemorate its 50th anniversary, but it is returning to the New York Auto Show with a fresh version based on the 2013 GT500 I drove. The 2013 Shelby 1000 whips up 1,200 horsepower on pump gas thanks to beefed-up forced induction, engine internals and cooling. Wisely, it also incorporates an adjustable suspension and big brake package to make sure those ponies have the best chance being safely deployed to the ground.
What price the world's most powerful "production" muscle car? $154,995 for starters - donor GT500 not included. What, no convertible variant?
