Natural gas gets the job done
Article Abstract:
The modified Geo Prizm is touted as the first truly practical Advanced Natural Gas Vehicle. The car runs purely on natural gas and can travel up to 300 miles without refueling on an amount of natural gas equivalent to 9.3 gallons of gasoline. It accelerates from zero to 60 miles-per-hour within 12.5 seconds.
