When Living in Alaska, the local natual gas company ran all their trucks on LNG - Liquified Natural Gas. However, they offered no conversions to anyone else. Gasoline was still so cheap that the demand for LNG was zilch!. Now, years later, that has prol'ly changed somewhat. Currently, the city bus lines in Birmingham, AL run on natural gas. I don't know of how they are set up, but in the streets wtween the towering office buildings, I can tell you that being rid of those old diesel burning, fume belching old busses is a blessing to all.
