FOR MORE CAR VIDEOS & REVIEWS VISIT: www.kbb.com Honda Civic. We recently spent a week in a 2008 Honda Civic GX, the only natural gas vehicle (NGV) available to consumers today, and it didn’t take long to appreciate the range and availability of regular ol’ gasoline. The Civic GX is rated for combined fuel economy of 28 miles per GGE (Gasoline Gallon Equivalent, an NGV standard), but the tank holds just eight GGE. Leaving room for error, then, you have to refill the GX about every 180 to 200 miles. That wouldn’t be as big a problem if compressed natural gas (CNG) were available on every other street corner. The thrust of it, we learned in a typical week of cruising, commuting and grocery shopping, is that you have to plan ahead. The 113-horsepower GX is also slower than traditional Civics, and the extra-large fuel tank eats up all but six cubic feet of trunk space. Still, you can count us in as fans. Our nearby CNG stations are on the pricey side, but we still saved about 30 percent on fuel versus a regular Civic. Factor in solo access to the HOV lane, tax incentives and cleaner emissions, and it’s clear why the 2008Civic GX sold out in the first few months of the year.

@paintball227 this is a green car, not a practical car
5 people disliked this because they bought a prius and are jealous this is greener
I like the way he said nipple.
The reviewer is super annoying.
In America, they like trunk space so that they can stuff a dead body in the back of the car and transport it to a local dump station and dispose of it there. 70% of us drive with the Trunk Empty 70% of the Time!!! Its basically useless!!! USE THE BACK SEAT!!! That’s Balognie!!!
The Civic Natural Gas Vehicle (NGV) has enough trunk room for you to fit a “suit case”! The future should see the Natural Gas Tank and battery placed under the vehicle .
to bad they only allowed to sell it in like 4 states.
4:00 haha my fav part, “this makes a Prius look like a HUMMER” and a Chevy Chevelle rolls by XD…
Ha I drive a fully loded civic hybrid and a fully loaded prius. Best things ever
oh shit he looks so rich… look at that crib… HUGE
What are the cons of Natural gas???
In Los Angeles, the carpool lane doesn’t matter lol.
Talk about a biased review. it looks like he doesn’t like natural gas vehicles at all and he tries to portray it in a very poor light.
If Im not mistaken it can even be refueled at home. Not to mention that having these sort of cars will reduce dependence on oil. If there were refueling stations where I was staying I would definitely convert to natural gas.
So what is the range? I don’t have filling stations in my area that I know of.
6 people have a Prius or Insight.
@IncredableDrE Wait till you have to buy batteries, you going to scrap your cars.
@aargh5 My wife will and that’s all that counts.
@apocgamer KBB in the auto industry is a joke anyway. Honda needs to get a true representative that understands what this car represents. This joker is exactly that. A joke. Natural gas is many times more abundant in the USA then oil. I have heard we the USA have 4 times the amount of natural gas then OPEC has oil. This is our way out of the connection to oil. CNG is about $1.40 in most states, get the same mileage and the engines last much longer. Plus, it pumps relatively no emissions.
We can now convert used motor oil into fuel. We burn it at the refinery into a gas. The Honda Civic Methane gas can run on refined used motor oil.
Shoot sounds better than all that electric vehicle BS with charging and battery nonsense. Its not much more than gas versions and the price of fuel is rediculously low compared to gas. I’ll deal with the vacuum cleaner sound for a half hour a day before I become one of those people with a Prius.
where can you get the equipment of natural gas to install in my honda car
where can you get the equipment of natural gas to install in my honda car?
If you use the car pool lane, 114 HP at 60 mph is faster than 140 HP in Stop and Go traffic.
CNG – Natural Gas IS a fossil fuel! While a Prius is very efficient in saving fuel, the materials needed to build a Prius are a huge waste of natural resources, materials, usage & waste materials, which hugely outweigh any energy benefits, returned!
@aargh5 Neither would Caylee Anthony.
@TheTuber124 the range is about 200 miles.
