This assessment examines the economic competitiveness of CNG systems against both gasoline and liquid petroleum gas (LPG) systems, including commercial dual-fueled CNG/gasoline systems and single-fuel, dedicated CNG systems. A comparison of system cost and performance and application requirements shows that the economic market for CNG vehicles is very sensitive, within a reasonable range of input assumptions, to capital cost and fuel price differential. Under optimistic assumptions, CNG systems would be competitive in most fleet vehicle applications. Under more pessimistic assumptions, the economic market for CNG is reduced to a few very high-mileage applications in low-cost gas regions.
