Natural Gas in Utah

Interesting article in the NY Times about widespread natural gas cars in Utah. I actually looked into buying a natural gas car about a year ago since there are so many natural gas stations around, but, being a student, I couldn't pay what normal people pay for cars so I settled for my '98 Plymouth Neon (gets 30-35ish mpg and cost me a grand total of $1200). It'll be cool to see if natural gas catches on. I have also wondered if people that use natural gas to heat their homes could somehow tap into that and use it for a car too. I'll have to do some reading on that . . .

Honda offers a $2000 device that will mount in your garage, hook into your home's natural gas lines, and fill your vehicle up. Great, great idea and investment.
