2000 Ngv / Cng Ford Crown Victoria P71 - Only 27k Mi - Natural Gas on 2040-cars

Drive GREEN, cruise in the HOV Lane and SAVE, SAVE, SAVE !

This car is a Police Interceptor (P71), and was a Fire Department vehicle, driven by only two people before I bought it a year ago. So it was not abused like your average Police Cruiser. It has all the amenities typical for these cars: ABS brakes, electric windows, cruise control, etc. The interior is sea blue, with cloth bucket seats in the front and a matching vinyl bench in the rear. The carpets and headliner are also sea blue. The car also comes with an upgraded 200 Watt Dual Bluetooth Stereo with remote control.

This Crown Vic is in excellent condition and has just over 27,250 miles on it. (Still registered and in use.) Brakes and tires are good, all with about 65% of their respective life remaining. Additionally, I just had some important service work performed to make it handle like new. On October 26th at 27,100 miles the following new parts were installed at a total cost of $745: A NEW set (4) of Monroe severe service shocks, NEW Moog front sway bar bushings, and a NEW idler arm.

Best of all, this car is an OEM (built by Ford in Canada) dedicated COMPRESSED NATURAL GAS (CNG) vehicle. This allows you not only to save a bundle on fuel costs, but you can legally cruise the HOV/ Diamond Lane by yourself during commute hours, because by burning Natural Gas you are in a Clean Air Vehicle -- Greener even than most Toyota Prius', and with a lot more room and comfort. The HOV Lane saves you a lot of time. And to save even more on fuel, this car had differential gears with a final drive ratio of 1 : 2.73 installed, which lets you save about 10% compared to a standard P71's rear gears.

When cruising at 70-75+mph on the freeway I average 24 mpg. In city traffic that drops down to about 16 mpg. 19 mpg is my average, but with a gentler right foot you can easily bring that up to 20+ mpg. The installed CNG tanks give you a range of 160-200 miles. The CNG tanks are certified until 11/2015 and the white HOV Lane stickers that come with the car are good until at least 12/2019 (Per AB 266).

At current fuel prices of around $3.75 per gallon, the $2.20 per GGE Natural Gas this car uses will save you an average of $1.55 per gallon! At an average of 19 mpg with 20,000 miles per year driven, that will save you a cool $1,600+ in just one year! You can even a reduce your fuel costs to under $1/ GGE by getting your own compressor system and a special rate from PG&E. If you do, you will more than double your fuel cost savings.

Of course, if you use this car as a taxi (which is what I had planned) you will save a lot more. When you run this car for 5 shifts a week averaging 200 miles a shift, for 50 weeks a year, in the 50,000 miles driven you will save $4,000+! ! So after just over a year and a half, this car will have paid for itself, with just the money you saved on fuel costs. All the while you're passing the competition in the HOV lane on your way back from the City or the Airport. If you have or get your own CNG compressor you can save close to $9,000 in the first year !
