I'm sure Honda appreciates the difficulty of this mission, now that they've chosen to accept it. The infrastructure isn't there, we can't even get Americans into diesels let alone vehicles powered by natural gas, and consumer awareness of the vehicles is low. But Honda's going to try it anyway.

Honda's Civic GX, powered by natural gas, will be seen in dealerships in major cities throughout the country soon. Now that there's a contraption that allows consumers to fill up at home, the convenience of the fuel, which is a good 60 cents per gallon less than gasoline, may spur buyers to finally bite on natural gas. While filling stations are few and far between, the car is only expected to serve as a commuter car.
