Hunting for my next car
Greetings!
I'm afraid I might be looking for something that doesn't exist, but maybe you can tell me! I want a Honda vehicle, and right now it doesn't matter whether it's a Civic, Accord, Element, or other size/shape, as long as it has four wheels/tires and a manual transmission. The tricky part is that I want it to have been built (not modified) to run on LPG, and I want to buy it (new or used) in the United States. Where should I look? Merry Christmas! Elisabeth |

How about natural gas instead:

Manual transmission is very tiresome in bumper to bumper,

Re: Hunting for my next car
Thanks for your responses!
I have international experience with manual transmission, and a year's experience with CNG, so Andy & Carol I know I want manual, and Art, JXStern and Jim Beam I know I don't want CNG (=natural gas =Civic GX food) CNG is too inconvenient to find -- I have to spend a lot of time driving out of my way to get it. I have driven with LPG (=LP Gas =autogas) in Europe and wonder, Jim Beam, how you find it more expensive. I have understood it to be better for the wallet as well as for the environment. Maybe worldlpgas.com can give me an idea when/where such a car will be available here in the US, or if you find anything, please do post me! Thanks again for your time!

As far as I can tell, Honda does not make a LPG propelled vehicle (production). At least for the US market. And the GX does not come in a manual.

Anything that puts a pressurized tank of explosive material in a position to be impacted in a crash is a little scary to me. Just having a pressurized tanks of anything is dangerous in a crash. Even a highly pressurized tank of air being impacted would not be very safe. |

Even > a highly pressurized tank of air being impacted would not be very safe. personally, i'm a good deal more concerned about hydrogen. i had the "privilege" to witness a gas cylinder fire with subsequent explosions one time, from a safe distance, and that was pretty impressive. bits of metal were flying at least 100m vertically each time one went off and the evacuation radius was a good two blocks. in a good hydrogen tank explosion, i wouldn't want to be inside 10 blocks. getting into an accident with one of those things on the highway? there wouldn't be much /scene/ left for accident investigation, let alone bits of car. probably not much point even fitting air bags to one of those things! |
