However, natural gas can also be used to fuel automobiles and trucks. And the price is right: approximately $2.00 per gasoline gallon equivalent (GGE).So why haven't Americans adopted natural gas? In a word: Compression.Natural gas needs to be compressed so it can provide the appropriate range for our vehicles (250-300 miles).
