Injected CNG

A dozen or so gas stations in the Dallas/Ft. Worth area were offering
CNG.  These were fast-fill stations that took about the same amount of
time to fill your tank compared to gasoline.  The home compressors are
definitely slow-fill (over night).

Several gas stations nationwide have closed their CNG pumps because of
lack of demand.  The CNG market has been nearly killed because the
government pulled back mandates requiring fleets to convert to alternate
fuels (or they accepted reformulated gasoline as an alternate fuel). 
Also, OBDII has made it nearly impossible for aftermarket companies to
develop conversion kits without help from the OEM's.  Ford, GM, and
Chrylser are still producing some CNG vehicles (last I heard), but the
viability of CNG as an automotive fuel is struggling.
