Vehicle is equipped with a 2.2L 4-cylinder bi-fuel engine, which averages around 28 MPG. The CNG tank can hold around 5-6 GGEs (gallons) and the regular fuel tank holds about 12 gallons. This gives you a range of 500+ miles. This car has four Goodyear tires. Although the pictures show a mounted power inverter and floor mats, both of these have been removed. The inverter was really nice and could be remounted; I'd be happy to include that with the car (just let me know). I've placed the generic floor mats (from Costco) in a different car... sorry. The inverter is nice because it allows you to plug in your regular computer, phone charger, etc. without fiddling around with the DC outlet and related accessories.
There is a mechanical problem that you should be aware of, which I'm told will cost between $600-$2,000 to fix. As a student I do not have the time, money, or inclination to fix it. The vehicle starts up and drives, but it cannot travel long distances because it overheats. I've had 2 mechanics look at it and they agree that the head gasket is blown. Therefore, I am selling as is with no warranty expressed, written, or implied. This would be a great vehicle for someone who is mechanically inclined. My mechanic quoted me the following scenarios: (a) $600 to rebuild the engine with a 50/50 outcome, (b) $1,000 to replace the engine with a used one, or (c) $2,000 to replace with a new engine. In any of the 3 cases the vehicle would retain it's CNG capability. You could do the labor yourself and have a CNG vehicle for much less.
I've also noted that the passenger's side headlight is more dim than the driver's. As I understand, this is a common problem for these vehicles, but I have not investigated how to fix it. Also, I noticed that the A/C had difficulty working when the vehicle was at a standstill. Works great when driving. Despite this, the vehicle and A/C did wonderful in the blistering Arizona heat. The body and interior have wear typical of a vehicle its age. There are also cracks in the dash (see picture), especially near the driver's side windshield. Headboard in good condition, but the visors are not (see picture).
At the very least, this would be a great parts vehicle for someone with an existing CNG cavalier (i.e., donor car), as you would still qualify for the tax credit and obtain expensive CNG parts at a fraction of the normal cost.

Corvette Z06. Nissan GT-R Nismo. Motor Trend Head 2 Head. 'Nuff said.
Wed, Feb 11 2015Here is a video we've been waiting for, one that will get broadband fiber optic cables glowing like Hooker headers on a dyno. For Episode 62 of Head 2 Head, Motor Trend throws the 2015 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 into the bear pit with the latest Nissan GT-R Nismo. What comes out of that is seventeen minutes of don't-look-away video. We're only going to give you the specs. The 3,527-pound Z06 gets on with a supercharged 6.2-liter V8 with 650 horsepower and 600 pound-feet of torque, applied to the wheels via a seven-speed manual transmission. With the Z07 performance package appended it has a front splitter and winglets, and a three-section rear spoiler among its aero aids. The tested model also wore carbon ceramic brakes, which helped push its $89,985 MSRP out to $105,210. The 3,881-pound GT-R Nismo plays the underdog – again – with a 3.8-liter twin-turbo V6 spitting out 600 hp and 481 lb-ft, yoked to a six-speed dual-clutch transmission. The GT-R left its 'performance bargain' days behind years ago, and this top-shelf version starts at $151,585 but has almost everything it can get, so the as-tested price was only a skosh more at $151,880. We're not going to tell you any more than that. Click on the video and let Carlos Lago and his two mean minions tell you a story you won't soon forget.

Just the right Camaro can change your life
Thu, Jan 22 2015Not many people can say that their car directly motivated them into a career, but that's exactly the case for Adam Martin and his 1968 Chevrolet Camaro that he calls Lucy. Martin bought the pony car in primer when he was just 16, and it helped foster his profession in restoring classic cars. Beyond just being a very cool ride for a teenager, every change to Lucy was an opportunity to hone a new automotive skill for Martin. Whether figuring out how to paint a car or building the 454-cubic-inch (7.4-liter) big block V8, the Camaro offered a platform for experimentation. This latest episode of Petrolicious gets personal about the bond between man and machine for this 18-year ongoing project. And even if the story doesn't immediately grab you, Lucy has a great voice and can do a mean burnout.

Chevy: The Big Game
Mon, Feb 2 2015Chevrolet took an early lead for the 2015 Super Bowl advertising crown with its spot for the all-new, 4G LTE-capable Colorado pickup in a spot that simulated a problem with your TV. The stark, simple ad then states that if you're lucky enough to have an Internet-capable vehicle, like the new Colorado, you'd at least be able to stream the game. A clever, chuckle-inducing spot if there was one. Check out our full write up of the new, 2015 Colorado. Marketing/Advertising Chevrolet Truck Super Bowl Commercials Videos 2015 super bowl ad
