how was the test drive?
I was investigating CNG options, but the research so far results in the cheap fuel as the only pro, there are more cons for me that changed my mind on this option, such as CNG stations not widely available, low driving range on the CNG tank (~200km), CNG stations frequently broken down, dealership maintenance cost on the CITY is high, no self service at the CNG stations, loss of space with CNG tank, dealership price on new CNG vehicle is high when these vehicles should be cheaper
still cheaper imho to do a cng retrofit in your existing gas vehicle
considering hybrid now

1. The ioniq can only travel at 50km/hr with batrery...well so the salesman said...over 50km gas kick in.. I run 160km/hr with cng no issues. Yes the car stays on the the road too.
2. With cng being on the market many years now I'm pretty sure there are many technican available for repairs even if the warranty period is over. Can't say much about the hybrid. Anyone?
3. My other half works for a insurance company if you lose a nose cut in an accident with a hybrid automatic write off due to the cost to repair the damages being too much. The company write of two already
4. Resale value.....is Honda. Then there is Carmax to trade as well.
5. Based on my distance traveling I would usually save $1300 - $1400.00 a month...vs my previous car 1.5 toyota axio with eco mode. Putting it another way from $50.00 super a day to $7.00 & $8.00 cng per day..... A full tank of petrol will stay the entire month or more unless you deside to use it and trust me a full tank could rally you a week of North south driving.
No regrets here.

So third party on a hybrid is a bad idea.
