NGVs - Economic Benefits

Purchasers of natural gas vehicles benefit from longer engine life and lower maintenance costs.

Maintenance Costs

Gasoline and diesel engine lives are shortened because of the build-up of carbon. Natural gas engines, on the other hand, have virtually no carbon build-up, so ring wear is reduced and engine life is extended.

Tune-ups and oil changes for natural gas vehicles aren’t needed as frequently because compressed natural gas burns so much cleaner than gasoline or diesel. Some natural gas car owners report service lives two to three years longer than gasoline or diesel vehicles.
