Umm we have had cars that run on natural gas for years maybe even decades. There are many companies that already have fleet vehicles that run on natural gas, UPS is one of them.

The best thing about natural gas, it is the only fuel that can replace oil right now. It also can be used in the cars we have now, they just have to have a different carburetor system set up.

The other cool thing about NG is it lets engines last much longer than a engine that burns oil based gas because there is very little carbon build up. There is really no downside to NG, other than the fact we are using it for generating electric and that's taking up most of the current supply.
