You would think at least all Michigan State vehicles could run on it. Michigan is supposed to have a "big" initiative to develop alternative energy in the state. Are you listening Governor and legislature? Look at natural gas reserve maps and Michigan seems to have it everywhere. You would think at least all Michigan State vehicles could run on it.

I understand that the U.S. has its own ample samplies of natural gas within its territorial land mass. What progrss if any is being made with CNG for its safe use in school buses which have centralized fuel depots? Have any of the big three of bus manufacturers: International, Bluebird, or Thomas/Freightliner done any designing to incorporate CNG as a fuel choice in the near future? I know that Bluebird already has a propane-fueled bus but its fuel efficiency is not as good as diesel. This is very encouraging news.
