cleanenergyfuels.com Why Natural Gas? Cleanest available fuel on the market today Domestic Fuel Emissions vs. gasoline/diesel lower NOx (forms smog) lower Particulate Matter (black smoke) lower Carbon Monoxide lower greenhouse gas emissions Economics Less expensive than gasoline or diesel Noise Significant reduction in noise Up to 80% decibel drop
