Rare, One of a kind Natural Gas Vehicle - Sporty, Reliable and Very Economical - NO RESERVE

Equipped with EPA Certified Altech-Eco Bi-fuel CNG Conversion. The Focus operates on either gasoline or CNG (compressed natural gas) with the simple push of a button. With the lower cost of CNG at the pump and 32-35 mpg on the highway, this little beauty has an incredibly low operating cost. The EPA Certified natural gas conversion system from Altech-Eco was installed by CleanFuel Conversions at the end of 2008. We originally paid about $23,000 for the car, but the current Blue Book value on the Focus without the CNG conversion is around $6,000. The Altech-Eco conversion was a another $10,000. CleanFuel Conversions has been performing CNG conversions in Austin, Texas for over 6 years. We have delivered almost 400 conversions. This Focus was one of our company vehicles. We used it primarily as a demo vehicle and, because it is just so cheap to drive, to travel to trade shows or customer locations around the country.

The system from Altech-Eco really is a clever design utilizing a machined adapter plate between the head and intake manifold instead of the drilling/taping and rubber fuel hoses found on most bi-fuel conversions. The fuel pressure regulator is mounted in the rear and only a low pressure fuel line runs past the passenger compartment to the engine. The regulator is an ITT Conoflow, one of the most reliable fuel pressure regulators on the market. The fuel injectors are Bosch. Overall, the installation is very professional and includes a 18" x 36" 8.1 GGE Lincoln Type 4 lightweight composite fuel cylinder mounted in the truck that will get over 200 miles on CNG before having to switch back to gasoline. The carbon fiber tank was new when installed and is good for another 15 years. Sure the tank takes up some trunk space, but there is still a lot of room left behind the tank. With both fuels, the car has a range of almost 600 miles. The car runs great on either fuel.

Fun To Drive
Unlike most NGVs and almost all EPA certified coupes/sedans, this car is just plain fun to drive. The SES trim level includes an extra sway bar and a very sporty feeling suspension. The tires are Pirelli and they still have good tread. Plus, it is a 5 speed and there is almost no difference in performance on CNG. The heated leather bucket seats are firm, but comfortable.

Eligible for Financial Incentives
As an EPA Certified conversion, the Focus is eligible for most available tax credits and rebates. No state tax credit has been taken on this vehicle.

Excellent Well-Maintained Condition
I've driven the car to both coasts on CNG. In fact almost all the miles are highway miles on CNG. Besides brakes and tires, about the only repairs ever required was a catalytic converter replacement. The oil has been changed regularly and I have always used a full synthetic. About the only signs of wear are a few light scratches on the driver's door panel and a piece of the plastic on the console is broken. The piece can be purchased on ebay for about $40. If I were keeping the car, I'd probably replace it. There's really nothing else it needs. This has been a great car for me and I hate to lose it. I just simply have two many vehicles and need to sell a couple. Since the Focus conversion is no longer available, I need to keep other vehicles for demo purposes and will let this one go.

Warranty
I'm so confident that the new owner will completely satisfied with the condition and performance of this vehicle that I am willing to offer a 1 year warranty.

And best of all, CHEAP GAS

Feel free to call 512-289-9799 with questions or to arrange to see or test drive the vehicle. The vehicle is currently in Austin, Texas.

2016 Ford Police Interceptor Utility shows up for duty in Chicago

Fri, Feb 13 2015

The latest upgrade for the 2016 Ford Police Interceptor Utility is all set to patrol the Windy City's streets with its debut at the 2015 Chicago Auto Show. On the outside, the revised Ford police vehicle looks basically the same as the recently refreshed Explorer with a new grille and redesigned headlights. Inside, there's a restyled steering wheel and center console. Unlike the civilian model, though, the PI Utility gets heavy-duty brakes, a more robust cooling system, reinforced subframe mounts and larger diameter suspension springs for more strength. Under the hood, police forces get to choose between either a 3.7-liter V6 with 304 horsepower and 279 pound-feet of torque or a 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6 with 365 hp and 350 lb-ft of twist. Regardless of powertrain, these 'utes feature a six-speed automatic transmission and all-wheel drive. The transmission includes the awesome-sounding Pursuit Mode feature that switches over to more aggressive shifts when it detects harder driving to properly stop crime. Related Video:

2013 Ford Fusion Hybrid

Mon, 01 Apr 2013

Your Mileage May Vary
As difficult as it is to write this, I was actually excited about the 2013 Ford Fusion Hybrid. With the beautiful looks of the newest midsize fighter from Ford and a fuel economy estimate capable of shaming even the stalwart Camry Hybrid, the battery-augmented four-door seemed like a recipe for unabashed success. But appearances love nothing more than swapping our boundless enthusiasm for cold platters of disappointment. The 2013 Fusion Hybrid gets hobbled right out of the gate with a lofty price tag, and real-world driving keeps the sedan from even approaching those EPA figures.
With so many excellent midsize hybrids on the market, is there any reason to consider the newest Fusion Hybrid? Are sharp aesthetics, a well-executed interior and capable driving dynamics enough to overcome the machine's shortfalls? Not from where I'm standing.
