Really does have just 46,685. Having such low miles on it kinda makes it much newer van than most 1997 vans. It has the nice advantage of not having as many computerized electrical as newer vans to have issues with. For example, the keys are old-school simple $4 keys, vs. the 2004+ transponder keys at $28 + programming. Bought it on eBay from the Medford, OR motorpool asset handler auction department about a year ago when it had 37,xxx miles. Selling it because a great deal came up for me on a diesel version of the same van. I can drive the diesel van out of state where there are no CNG stations, but always diesel stations. For example, going east, the next CNG station east of Sacramento is Reno. Consult cngprices, cnglocator, or cngnow (search "cng stations" for more sites) to get current CNG filling station information.
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Native CNG: this means it was not a vehicle originally made to run on gasoline and converted to use CNG, but rather one designed at the factory to run only on CNG.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.

J Mays' legacy
Fri, 15 Nov 2013
Mays is by far not the first designer to use heritage design cues in his work.
The announcement that J Mays will be leaving his chief creative officer role at Ford Motor Company on January 1 ends a 13-year run in one of the industry's top design roles. While best known for having a hand in reborn classics like the Volkswagen New Beetle, Ford Mustang and Thunderbird (above), Mays' legacy is more complicated and nuanced than being considered the father of what is known as "retrofuturism".
Are you a new Ford Mustang SVO? [w/video]
Fri, 16 May 2014When Ford announced that its 2015 Mustang would arrive with a 2.3-liter EcoBoost four-cylinder engine, three letters came to mind: SVO. While Ford hasn't said a word regarding the rebirth of a Mustang SVO model, this latest set of spy shots shows us something very, very interesting. Allow us to explain.
The Mustang prototype in these photos looks very similar to the GT500 test cars we've spotted before - same bulging hood, aggressive front fascia and air vents aft of the front wheels. What's different, however, is around back. Have a look at the exhaust, and note that instead of the GT500's usual quad pipes, two of the exhaust outlets have been capped off.
Our spies point out that these exhaust outlets could be closed for some sort of emissions testing or another engineering reason, but it's also important to note that the engine and exhaust notes of this car sound completely different from earlier GT500 prototypes. We've got a video below that compares the two.
2020 Ford Police Interceptor Utility dominates Michigan State Police testing
Thu, Oct 4 2018The Michigan State Police has released its preliminary findings from testing the 2019 crop of police vehicles, and the results are a bit surprising. The consistent top performer of the bunch was the 2020 Ford Police Interceptor Utility, better known to civilians as the Ford Explorer. Specifically, the top performer was the model with the new turbocharged 3.0-liter V6. The Michigan State Police conducts acceleration, top speed, braking and lap time tests of all the available police vehicles. The 3.0-liter Police Interceptor Utility was the fastest to 60 mph at 5.77 seconds, had the highest top speed of 150 mph, and the best average lap time of 1:36.47. The lap time was particularly impressive as it was just over half a second faster than the next quickest car, the all-wheel-drive V8 Charger. View 13 Photos Still, the 2019 Dodge Charger gave the Explorer a serious run for its money. The all-wheel-drive V8 Charger was only 0.1 seconds behind the Explorer to 60 mph with a time of 5.87 seconds, and the rear-drive version was third quickest at 6.15 seconds. Both V8 Chargers were only 1 mph off of the Explorer's top speed, and the V6 example was third fastest at 141 mph. We already mentioned the all-wheel-drive V8 Charger was half a second off the Explorer's lap time, and the rear-drive variant was just over 1 second behind, giving it the third fastest average time. Dodge also took home braking bragging rights. The V6 Charger won out with a distance of 126.9 feet, followed by the rear-drive V8 Charger with 128 feet, and the V6 Durango Pursuit stopping at 128.8 feet. Now of course where there are winners, there are also losers. The slowest accelerating police car was the Ford Police Responder Hybrid Sedan, better known as the Fusion Hybrid, with a time of 9.24 seconds. At 8.59 seconds was the V6 Dodge Durango, and the V8 Chevy Tahoe with four-wheel-drive was third slowest at 7.98 seconds. Lowest top speed was 106 mph with the Ford F-150 Police Responder with the 3.5-liter turbocharged V6, followed by the V6 and V8 Durangos with 117- and 118-mph top speeds respectively. In braking, the Chevy Tahoes performed the worst with the rear-drive version stopping at 145.7 feet and the four-wheel-drive version stopping at 142.5 feet. The F-150 followed with 141.9 feet. When it came to lap times, the Fusion Hybrid lapped the slowest with a time of 1:46.31. The V6 Durango was about a second faster with a time of 1:45.45.
