Better check relative heat content of various fuels before you say which one is cheaper. On what basis is CNG cheaper? You lose 30% volumetric efficiency going from gasoline to CNG. So you have to consume much more CNG to go the same distance.

They are doing quite well. Nat-Gas is only 50% of the gasoline price throughout the stations.
More and more stations are having both avaible.
On top of it, they are way ahead by having reduced the overall mass of vehicles. Size and weight -wise.
Who needs a multi ton P/U vehicle just to swing 1 lazy ass' butt to the drive through window?
