I did something small about gas prices this past weekend. I bought a
1999 Natural Gas powered pickup, as my 1976 needs major
transplants. Natural Gas gives about the same power and slightly
less mileage, but I filled up for $2.149 a gallon. The downside is
that there are very few places to buy natural gas. I have had it for
only three days, so it is not much of a test, but so far I am happy with it.

I have considered using propane for vehicle fuel. A conversion costs about $3,000 and the payback period would be long. The tank uses up cargo space. Let us know how you feel about your natural gas pickup from time to time, please.
