- Choosing Natural Gas Vehicles fueled by Phill
offer substantial benefits over traditional gasoline
models. Some
of these include:
- Access to High Occupancy
Vehicle Lanes. Imagine getting to work in
half the time! No more waiting on congested highways! California
is one place where Natural Gas Vehicles are permitted to travel
in carpool and High Occupancy Vehicle lanes with only a single
occupant. How much is your time worth?
- Save Money On Fuel
Bills. Natural Gas prices are considerably
lower and traditionally more stable than gasoline. Taxes
on natural gas as a vehicle fuel source are also generally
lower and can result in substantial savings over gasoline. Some gas utilities are currently offering preferential Natural Gas Vehicle home refueling rates to Phill owners. These lower rates apply to the total gas consumption of your residence.
- Ease of Paying Fuel
Bills. By filling up at home you eliminate
multiple fuel bills and the effects of high interest rates
on payment by credit cards. Imagine getting only one
monthly bill that includes both your vehicle refueling and
home natural gas needs? You may even be able to lock
in your prices for natural gas for specific amounts of time
with your utility provider. This would eliminate all
too common price fluctuations as is common with gasoline,
and would enable you to effectively budget your vehicle refueling
expenses.
- Contribute to a Healthier Environment. Traditional
motor vehicles are the single largest source of major criteria
air pollutants and produce more than 60% of all carbon monoxide
pollution. Natural Gas contains less carbon than any
other fossil fuel and thus reduces exhaust emissions of:
- Carbon Monoxide by 70%
- Non-Methane Organic Gas by 87%
- Nitrogen Oxides by 87%
- Carbon Dioxide by 20%
- As such, Natural Gas Vehicles are inherently
cleaner than traditional motor vehicles. Some, like
the Honda GX, even meet California's strict ultra-low
and super ultra-low emission standards.
Security. With
Phill you can fill up your Natural Gas Vehicle in
the safety and security of your own garage. No more visits
to service stations.
- Free Parking. Imagine not paying for
public parking! Its true! With a natural gas powered
vehicle you may park at meters for free in such cities as Los
Angeles, San Jose, and Santa Monica. An ever growing
number of progressively minded and "clean" cities are joining
this group. Contact your municipal government and inquire
about Free Parking initiatives in your area. Click Here

- Reduce dependence on foreign energy supply. Why go half way around the world for your fuel?
Using fuel that's produced close to home reduces our dependence on off shore energy supplies. Natural Gas is an
abundant fuel source found in most parts of the world! While Natural Gas is considered a fossil fuel, methane, or biogas, can be made from agricultural waste, human waste, and garbage. This biogas is a renewable source of energy, and is being used successfully as a fuel source in Europe.
