Yes the 2007 Civic GX NGV does run on CNG.

The Manufacturer's suggested retail price (MSRP) is $25,185 (USD) excluding taxes.

@Faysall

From the fuel lid, it seems that it ONLY runs on CNG. It may not be a converted CNG or dual fuel vehicle. Unfortunately, it is available in aaqa mulk only.

Yep price is around 25k USD and it sells in America. It runs on CNG or NG as they call it.

If I'm not mistaken, the reason it runs only on NG is because the engine has been designed for CNG operation from the ground up. It runs a 12.5:1 compression ratio to take advantage of Natural Gas' higher octane rating.

Mitsu, Honda and few other manufactures sell NG specific cars in NA market. There is also a CNG fueld Ford Crown Victoria police patrol car vehicle.

Lancer MIEV anyone? (h) 268 BHP and 1,528 lb-ft of torque

With the clean nature of the fuel, maintenance on the GX is much lower than on a gasoline-powered car. Oil changes are around 10,000 miles. Tune-ups are required at somewhere above 100,000 miles. Without hydrocarbon fuel (gasoline/diesel/etc) there are no carbon deposits in the engine, eliminating the need for valve jobs and greatly reducing cylinder and ring wear. The engine should last well in excess of 500,000 miles with proper vehicle maintenance. The GX still qualifies for Diamond Lane access in California.

especially for anti cng gang.....

@gem_guy
sami is right....
each of the MIEVs motors produces 67-horsepower and a gargantuan 382 lb-ft of torque. In total, power output rivals the regular Evo at 268 total horsepower, but its 1,528 lb-ft of torque almost puts it in the same class as NHRA sanctioned top-fuel dragsters!

I'd love to have one of these cars! PSI? We don't need no stinkin' PSIs!!! All we need are kVAs!!!

If all the torque can be used, we'll be pasting rubber all over the road :d

P.S. With the time honoured "kanta" system, it'll be free performance!!!

well we have people on pak wheels who attribute choice of fuel as status symbol. There is nothing wrong with being practical. Honda is being conservative with tuning their CNG engine so to keep it fuel efficient. Otherwise there are more horses in it. Hydrogen is too far away and CNG has lot of short comings especially with storage to become worthy of wide acceptance. I am thinking LNG will replace CNG sooner or later in automotive industry.

@theboss

Unfortunately, that's very true. People buy petrol powered LCs and Prados just to show that they can afford petrol. Same is the case with CNG. They're have been LPG and CNG powered race cars which have had fairly good successes professionally. Well, I suppose money talks, people chose with their wallets.

GO CALI! MY HOME STATE YO! hahaha! They also get free parking and they have parking spots for hybrid cars!! But the funny part is that the limits on most roads are around 35- 50 mph and the car's on PETROL at that speed! Having the hybrid is actually pointless unless you travel to school and back and hit max. 25 mph.

Anyway even if they introduce in pakistan, it wouldn't sell. Anyone wanna know why............. ask me later i'm tired right now!
