Alternative Fuel Vehicles
Alternative fuel vehicles are gaining popularity
and a number of gas customers currently drive
vehicles that are dedicated to natural gas. The City
of Mesa has taken a leadership role in protecting
and preserving our environment.
Natural gas as a vehicle fuel is significantly
cleaner burning than gasoline and reduces carbon
monoxide and particulate emissions. It is also
efficient, safe, and economical, two-thirds the cost
of gasoline. There are several advantages to
converting to a natural gas vehicle (NGV). NGV
owners are able to use the High Occupancy Vehicle (HOV)
lanes in Arizona. Natural gas is convenient, safe,
and good for the environment.
To save time and money a NGV re-fueling station can
be installed at your home. How about that for total
independence? Installing a fueling station also
provides additional benefits to NGV owners:
- Discounted
natural gas rates
(Page G-3 in rate book)
- Ability to connect your vehicle to the
refueling station each night and refuel your
tank.
