LNG is a cryogenic process, gotta keep it cold and under high pressure.
And I seriously doubt a propane cylinder from Home Depot is DOT approved.
There are a lot of fleets using CNG, but most fleets have their own fueling systems and the vehicles do not travel far from home base.
Nobody would buy a car without a reliable source of fuel on a trip to anywhere.
Its a Catch 22. Nobody will build cars for an alternative fuel if there is no supply and nobody will build fueling stations if there are no consumers to use it.
I think Australia mandates all gas stations sell propane as well, so the government forces it to happen.

The infrastructure is there for low-volume right now -- if everyone did it there would be a problem -- but I imagine it'd be possible to do pretty well.
