The problem with natural gas is that the range of the vehical (per
tank) is somewhat small and suppliers are limited.  Natural gas is
popular with users like delivery services where the trucks all return
to a central refueling center at least once a day.  Busses make sense,
too.  Many users will find the conversion costs prohibitive, though.
