The Plain Dealer is reporting on recent efforts by local businesses and governments to switch to natural gas vehicles: “The frenzy over shale gas deep under Ohio and other states has the makings of a different kind of rush on the nation’s highways. *** Businesses, cities, metropolitan transit systems and even school districts across the nation are edging toward a switch from diesel and gasoline to natural gas. *** Converting cars and light trucks to use either gasoline or natural gas is expensive. And heavy trucks designed specifically for natural gas also cost more than conventional diesels. But at current prices, engines that can run on natural gas cut fuel bills in half or better.”
