Exactly. What smart business is going to give consumers a break if they charge more. Cheaper fuel for the companies to produce, when it becomes mainstream the average consumer cost is going to end up matching gasoline. It may not be the same per gallon, but they'll figure out the average MPGs when it is widely adopted and manipulate prices so they are pulling the same price as gas. 300 miles per tank of gasoline and you pay $45 for it now? We'll end up paying the same down the road for CNG.

It is cleaner so that is a start, but no company in their right mind is going to leave money on the table. They'll keep CNG prices low until more cars get out there and then the creep up will begin.
