The State of Oregon's CNG service truck has two 18- by 78-inch Lincoln Type 4 CNG tanks that hold 42 GGEs (gasoline gallon equivalent) of CNG. So far, the truck has traveled 12,600 miles; 74% of that is on CNG. The MPG on CNG is slightly lower than unleaded gasoline, but the cost per mile for CNG is lower — $0.17 versus $0.35, King said. If gas prices rise again, there will be an even larger difference in operating costs. With a 325-mile range on CNG alone, the driver can complete most trips using the lower-cost CNG fuel.
