Natural Gas vs. Gasoline | Pump vs. Home

Does anyone know the price per gasoline gallon equivalent of natural gas when pumped from home service? The local fuel station sells natural gas at a self-pump, it states the the equivalent is just under $2.00 gallon. But what about home? Of course you have to buy a "home service station" a la Honda's Phill.

Has anyone done a conversion? We are planning to take our gasoline engine on a big old Ford L800, convert it to propane (intake from an old school bus), then convert to natural gas.

Are you looking to save the Earth, or just hoping to save a few bucks? Are increased CO2 levels causing global warming, or is global warming causing increased CO2 levels? Which is greener, hybrid or diesel power?

Welcome to KBB Green Forums, created to take advantage of the simple truth that the more questions we ask, the more answers we get.
