[QUOTE="brett636, post: 949136, member: 249"] Perhaps for a Canadian citizen putting on a pair of gloves is a difficult task, but for those of us south of the border we have it down pat. These stations I am referring to are run by the local gas utility, and they are just a couple of pumps under a canopy. There is no place for an attendant to stay as the pumps take credit cards and are open 24 hours a day. As I stated, they are self serve natural gas filling stations. And yes, we call those parking garages since that is what they are. Parkade sounds like a name some backwards foreign country would call them. I haven't heard that, but I imagine its true. I know you can go on ebay and find dual fuel F150s that are both gasoline and CNG which are usually former utility company trucks. Honda also makes a CNG powered civic for everyone to buy. That issue could be resolved with the federal government mandated that all new vehicles it purchases be CNG powered. This could create a demand for many more CNG filling stations(along with more CNG powered vehicles) so that would be less of an issue. I do know pilot is in the process of adding CNG and LNG pumps to some of its truck stops since some companies are switching to CNG and LNG powered trucks.
