News from US Department of Energy

Check out this news from the US Dept of Energy: 

Compared with vehicles fueled with conventional diesel and gasoline, natural gas vehicles can produce significantly lower amounts of harmful emissions such as nitrogen oxides, particulate matter, and toxic and carcinogenic pollutants as well as the greenhouse gas carbon dioxide. Testing has been performed to compare the emissions of light-duty CNG vehicles versus light-duty gasoline vehicles.

Compressed Natural Gas:
-reduces carbon monoxide emissions 90%-97%
-reduces carbon dioxide emissions 25%
-reduces nitrogen oxide emissions 35%-60%
-potentially reduces non-methane hydrocarbon emissions 50%-75%
-emits fewer toxis and carcinogenic pollutants
-emits little or no particulate matter
-eliminates evaporative emissions

This study has demonstrated how much cleaner compressed natural gas vehicles are compared to traditional gasoline vehicles.  We can convert your vehicle to CNG today.  Just call us at 479-646-7301 or email Ed at eflaherty@smithchevyworld.com
