Tuesday, October 25th, 2011
Now may be a great time to own a vehicle that burns natural gas. The renewable energy source is currently priced at $1.93 a gallon, according to USA Today, almost $2 less than a gallon regular gasoline.
Natural gas-powered models
Despite the low cost of fuel, only a small number of commercially available vehicles can actually run on natural gas. Honda recently announced it was going to start selling its natural gas-powered 2011 Civic in every state this year, after previously only offering the model to government fleets and individual buyers in New York, California, Utah and Oklahoma. To date, the vehicles aren’t huge sellers – the Associated Press reports that Honda only sells about 1,500 natural-gas Civics a year.
Ford also manufacturers a natural-gas burning car, although it has mainly been sold to taxicab companies at this point.

He explains: Although the economic downturn has reduced claims as a result of people driving less, the proportion of accidents that result in bodily injury claims is still growing strongly.
Confused.com head of motor, Gareth Kloet, is more positive, stating: “The good news for consumers is that prices appear to be levelling out and there is real momentum behind making sure that the legal system creates an environment where conscientious drivers, who make up the vast majority, can get a fair deal from insurers.”
