CNG ROI
Is the CNG bi-fuel Silverado HD
worth it?
The answer to that lies solely
on one's ROI expectations: If CNG
is readily available, the GGE price
is low enough to offset the loss in
fuel economy and you can afford
to put in your own fueling station,
then, yes, the cost of the $9,500
CNG package would be a good fl eet
decision.
But if you are small (1 to 5
vehicle) fl eet owner who has to
buy CNG from a retail outlet, then
it's probably not a good option to
switch at this time.
