What is CNG???

Compressed Natural Gas or CNG, is one of nature's best untapped energy sources. Unlike fossil fuels, it is constantly produced by the earth and can also me synthesized through chemical processes. Cyber_lot. The technology has been around for decades but until recently has been kept in the closet by big oil! It is one of the fastest growing alternative fuel sources and unlike biodiesel and ethanol (E85), is a viable replacement for petroleum. Within the next 10 years 90% of gov't fleets will be CNG and civilian population will follow over the next 20 yrs.

Why should I buy a CNG/Bi Fuel Vehicle?

SAVE MONEY! CNG is about 1/3 less than reguar unleaded and more stable in price. AS LOW AS 99 CENTS PER GAL IN SOME AREAS!
CNG burns with practically no emissions compared to petroleum fuel so each mile you drive helps the environment....THINK GREEN
CNG is safer (less volatile) than gasoline as it has a higher ignition temp, 1200 deg vs 800 deg.
CNG poses little if any environment risk of contamination and in the event of an accident where tanks are breached, it evaporates into the air with no spill Cyber_lot
CNG fill stations are growing more and more each day. Check the links below for fill station locations across the US.
You can fill up at home using a Phil Fuelmaker device if you have a natural gas line. Cyber_lot No more trips to the gas station. Tax deductible.
Most states allow you to drive solo in the HOV lane.
CNG is not corrosive like gasoline and wears MUCH easier on a motor. Most CNG fueled engines require oil changes less frequently and sparkplugs last almost forever. Overall engine life is usually significantly extended. Cyber_lot
Unlike hybrid electric/gas cars, there are no costly batteries ($6000) to replace
Unlike hybrid electric vehicles, the CNG drivetrain is the same as the gasoline counterpart and can be serviced by most mechanics. Cyber_lot. Only the CNG fuel system requires specially trained service technicians.
There may be tax credits/deductions available for CNG vehicle owners and for the purchase of a Phil Fuelmaker (check with IRS and state tax authorities)
Be the first person in your town to sport a CNG ride. Cyber_lot Almost always a conversation starter when you open the trunk!

Condition

Drivetrain

Engine starts up and runs strong. Only 77k miles. NO knocks, NO smoke, NO dripping engine leaks. Underside of engine is dry as you can see in the pics. Transmission shifts into and through all gears as it should. Cruises at highway speed. At idle there is an occasional rattle against the floor from the exhaust I believe. Nothing falling off or anything major, just mentioning it. The 5.4L Triton V8 is one of the most durable and efficient 8cyl engines Ford produced and should easily last 300K+ miles with proper maintenance. This was a fleet maintained vehicle with regular servicing, including oil changes at proper intervals.

Exterior

Paint has most of its factory shine as you can see. No major/large dents or rot on the body. There are dings, scrapes, scratches, and minor blemishes all around the body. Most of the scratches were from the removal of decals. The edge of the driver side door and fender is a little wrinkled (see pic). Door opens and closes fine. Overall the body is straight. Please keep in mind this is not a showroom new but in average condition for a work van and a vehicle of this age.

Interior

Interior is in fair condition with average wear. There is some wear in the fabric on the left edge of the driver seat. Rubber floor is in good condition with no major or excessive wear. There are some scuffs on the plastic interior panels, mostly on the engine cover, as you can see in the pics. The volume button on the radio is loose. Interior is fresh and clean and has been detailed. A/C blows cold and heat blows hot.

Wheels and Tires

· Tires have approx 50%+ tread remaining. Matching set of factory Ford hubcaps.

CNG System

I have fueled up with CNG and not observed any leaks. Everything looks to be in order and system holds pressure as it should.

I have test driven this vehicle over 20 miles. I have tried to describe the condition to the best of my ability but this is merely a guideline and repairs may be required. I do recommend having this vehicle shipped due to the limited availability of CNG stations in some areas. As I recommend to all my customers, you should have your mechanic look over any newly purchased vehicle before extensive use. I have tried to list as many details about this vehicle as I can, including known defects. There may be deficiencies that I am not aware of so buyers are encouraged to inspect in person. FAILURE OF PROSPECTIVE BUYERS TO INSPECT VEHICLE OR ASK FOR CLARIFICATION ON CONDITION WILL NOT CONSTITUTE NON-DISCLOSURE OF DEFECTS OR CONDITION ON SELLERS PART. This was previously a fleet/lease vehicle and may have greater wear and tear than private vehicles. If you are local, I encourage and welcome you to come down and test drive the car for yourself or have an independent inspection completed PRIOR to bidding. There will be no price adjustments or cancellation of sale for failure to do so. I am happy to answer any questions so feel free to e-mail me or call.

· Payment Details

A non-refundable deposit in the amount of $500.00 must be made via PayPal within 24 hrs of auction's close. Balance to be paid within 3 days via certified/cashier's check from a verifiable institution, US postal money order (no other's will be accepted due to counterfeit MO's going around), or cash (in person only, DO NOT mail cash). No personal checks. A prep fee of $150.00 will be added to the winning bid price. Item must be picked up within 10 days of auction's close unless you make other arrangements with me. I am flexible and happy to accommodate you. If not, buyer agrees to pay $20/day storage. Sorry but I can not have vehicles sitting here for weeks or months. IF DEPOSIT IS NOT RECEIVED WITHIN 24 HRS OR PAYMENT IS NOT RECEIVED WITHIN 3 DAYS, VEHICLE WILL BE RE-LISTED OR SOLD TO NEXT BIDDER. Cyber_lot.

**NY Residents: This vehicle is being sold on behalf of a NYS dealer and as such, sales tax will be collected and $37 state inspection fee.

Shipping

Shipping is at the expense and responsibility of the winning bidder. If you require shipping, I am happy to assist. Vehicle is located in Long Island, NY, 11713. Cyber_lot. If you wish to fly and drive, I can pick you up at the area airport (Long Island Macarthur, ISP) or the train station (LIRR-Ronkonkoma). Temp/transit tags can be obtained from the local DMV.

Legal Info

Please only bid if you have the funds available and intend to complete the transaction. Ebay is a great place and you guys are wonderful but the occasional fraudulent bidder ruins it for everyone. Non-paying bidders will be reported to eBay as well as the appropriate authorities as interfering in interstate commerce is a federal offense. If you have negative feedback please contact me if you wish to bid or your bid(s) will be canceled. By bidding, you agree to all the terms of this auction. Item is sold with no extended warranty. If you are local, feel free to come and inspect the vehicle in person. Cyber_lot. I have tried to describe this item as best I can but I am not responsible for any incorrect information regarding specs, condition, undetected problems, etc. I am happy to answer any and every question so please e-mail prior to bidding as all sales are final. I reserve the right to end auction early as vehicle is for sale locally.

Recharge Wrap-up: Ford steals Best Green Brand spot from Toyota, EV buyer survey goes online

Wed, Jun 25 2014

Chevrolet is one of the Top Global Green Brands of 2014, according to brand consultancy firm Interbrand. Chevy ranks number 32 on the list, which cover brands across a wide variety of segments. The report measures brand perception and brand performance, and the gap between the two is small for Chevrolet. "The company is not only actively demonstrating its environmental commitment," says Interbrand CEO Jez Frampton. "It's communicating those efforts in an authentic way that resonates with customers." Chevrolet cites its Spark EV, Volt and Cruze models as reason for its green cred. This is the first time Toyota didn't take the top spot. Being 32nd is good and all, but other automotive brands ranked much higher than the Bowtie. Ford, Toyota, Honda and Nissan took the top four spots in the report, respectively, with BMW, Volkswagen and Mercedes-Benz all besting Chevrolet. The big takeaway here is that Ford topped the list. In the Top Global Green Brand list's four-year history, this is the first time Toyota didn't take the top spot. Ford was second on the list last year, and 15th in 2012. "Ford embodies everything the business of the future must be: efficient, visionary, flexible, adept at problem-solving, cooperative, and focused on creating shared value," Interbrand says on its website. "From unveiling a first-of-its-kind solar-powered vehicle, the C-MAX Solar Energi Concept, to partnering with peers across sectors to do the seemingly impossible - like creating bio-plastic out of tomato fiber with Heinz-Ford is showing us what's possible." It bears mentioning that Ford's most recent MPG adjustments came after the study was conducted. Ford is also making the news for its 1.0-liter EcoBoost engine earning International Engine of the Year for the third straight year. Awarded Best Engine Under 1.0 Liter, the turbocharged three-cylinder motor earned high praise from judges. "This year's competition was the fiercest yet, but the 1.0-liter EcoBoost continues to stand out for all the right reasons – great refinement, surprising flexibility and excellent efficiency," said International Engine of the Year co-chairman Dean Slavnich. "The 1.0-liter EcoBoost engine is one of the finest examples of powertrain engineering." The 123-horsepower engine powers the Fiesta 1.0-liter EcoBoost, and will be available in a version of the Ford Focus in the US later this year. See more about the award in the press release, below.

12 best hybrid SUVs for 2022

Tue, Jun 15 2021

If you're searching for the best hybrid SUV, the truth is there actually aren't that many choices. While there's an endless sea of those powered solely by gasoline, those that add batteries and superior fuel economy to the mix are few and far between. The very good news, however, is that the choices you have are actually excellent. The top-selling and top-rated Honda CR-V and Toyota RAV4 are not only available as hybrids, for instance, but are actually at their most appealing as hybrids.Â Luxury hybrid SUVs are a different story. While Lexus offers each of its crossover SUVs as a conventional hybrid, those of other brands are by and large plug-in hybrids that provide a relatively brief amount of all-electric propulsion, superior fuel economy and higher prices that are somewhat countered by EV tax rebates. We include both conventional hybrids and plug-in hybrids in the below list of best hybrid SUVs. All are listed alphabetically within each category. Best small hybrid SUVsÂ Â |Â Â Best midsize hybrid SUVs Best luxury hybrid SUVsÂ Â |Â Â Best luxury plug-in hybrid SUVs Best small hybrid SUVs Honda CR-V Hybrid Why it stands out: Best-in-class back seat space; hybrid's distinctive EV-like power delivery; middle lower LATCH anchorCould be better: Antiquated and glitchy tech interface; a bit dull Hybrid fuel economy: 38 mpg combined (AWD only) Read our 2022 Honda CR-V Review Consider the CR-V the baseline for any compact SUV search. Objectively speaking, it's tough to beat due to its massive cargo capacity, voluminous back seat, well-balanced driving dynamics, competitive pricing and features, strong safety ratings and well-regarded reliability. In terms of its hybridness, we like that Honda's distinctive hybrid system sees most of its propulsion handled by the electric motor (the engine rarely powers the wheels directly), resulting in a more EV-like, torque-rich power delivery and a less obtrusive gas engine. For the vast majority of compact SUV buyers, and especially families, the CR-V Hybrid checks every box.Â Â Hyundai Tucson Hybrid Why it stands out: Beautiful interior; excellent infotainment and safety technology; traditional automatic transmissionCould be better: No spare tire; styling a tad outrageous Hybrid fuel economy: 37-38 mpg combined (AWD only) Plug-in hybrid electric range: 33 miles Plug-in hybrid fuel economy: 80 MPGe Read our 2022 Hyundai Tucson Review The Tucson is the new kid in town and it's made quite an entrance.

Ford Mustang GT350, GT350R order guide leaks online

Wed, Jan 14 2015

Nary a day after the end of the 2015 Detroit Auto Show media days, a bombshell has been dropped in the form of the order guides for the new Shelby GT350 and GT350R. A draft of the complete guide for both track weapons popped up in the forums of Mustang6G, offering the car's biggest fans the most detailed look yet at how the new models can be outfitted. Arguably the most notable news is that Ford lists both cars not as 2016 models, but as 2015s. Wearing the codes 900A and 920A for the GT350 and GT350R, respectively, Ford lists eight available colors, including standard Mustang shades, like Oxford White, Race Red and Competition Orange, as well as a pair of exclusive hues, in Avalanche Gray and Shadow Black. Notably, neither vehicle can be optioned in the gorgeous Liquid Blue of the GT350R show car. Stripe packages are aplenty on the hottest Mustangs, with black, white and blue stripes available on both models. The R cars, though, will be distinguishable by red accents on its optional stripe groups. The standard model will feature an ebony interior, while the high-performance 'Stang will have an ebony cabin with red accents. Aesthetics aside, this order guide gives us the deepest look yet at the available equipment on both models. Not surprisingly, the options list is quite small, with the standard GT350 offering just two packages, racing stripes and a black roof (which we bet will be mutually exclusive with the stripe jobs). The standard car's Technology Pack adds MagneRide, "heavy-duty" front springs, navigation with Sync 3, leather-wrapped, climate-controlled power seats, satellite radio, dual-zone climate control and selectable driving modes. The Track Pack, meanwhile, adds the same driver-selectable modes, MagneRide and the stiffened front springs as the Tech Pack, along with coolers for the engine oil, trans and diff and a strut-tower brace. These two packs are mutually exclusive. Of course, if you're in the market for the GT350R, your only option is the Electronics Pack, which basically adds features deleted by your high-performance trim, such as a stereo and climate control. On top of that, you'll get Sync 3 with navigation and satellite radio. Head over to the Mustang6G forums for a look at the entire order guide.
