I can't be comfortable with the thought of Gas cylinder inside my booth. In the case of a serious accident and then the Gas cylinder get tosed about in the car, that could lead to an explosion. Except if they are saying the Gas doest explode. 2 Likes 1 Share |

We don't think in Naija... I am highly disappointed in Tinubu administration.... I expect them to focus on building rail networks across all regions... States and six regions should be connected via rails.. for human and cargo transportation.. Let the masses move to rails as an affordable means of transportation While elites that have excess resources can drive cars using petrol or CNG... Whats diffilcult in replicating the Abuja.Kaduna style accross the country ? 3 Likes 1 Share |

Ah! Op said a full tank CNG will cover lower miles than a full tank petrol and diesel. So comparatively it's not really cheap in that sense. The more you look the less you see. 1 Like |

They should make it available in every state and area before they launch... So that everybody will benefit it not to specialize for set of people alone... I rest my case |

Jangbajantis:He was talking about range (distance that your car will cover at a certain fuel level, in this case, when your car is filled up with either gas or petrol). So, he is saying when your car is filled up with a 60L of petrol, you will travel more distance than when it is filled up with 60L of gas. But of course price of gas/L is cheaper than price of petrol/L. FYI, CNG is sold in SCM. 60L CNG tank will take about 12-15SCM of CNG depending on pressure and where you refill. So, at N200/SCM retail price, cost to fill up 60L CNG is between N2,400 and N3,000 compared to petrol of N36,000 for same 60L. The common denominator to determine the cheaper one is to do a calc on cost/KM which OP already did. 8 Likes |

ojamall:Are you talking about speed or consumption? If it's speed, it's understandable and people would grab it. Who speed help? But if it's consumption (as in, which one burns faster) then fuel although costlier will still be preferred. 1 Like |

President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, the pathfinder, the game changer, I'm excitedly waiting for more of his ingenuity. I remember when he started the BRT lane in Lagos state, it was met with complain by some people, also when he established LASTMA, millennium schools, new LG offices etc, creating jobs, expanding civilization ππππππ Nigerians should get ready for a pleasant ride, patience is key.

ojamall:Take this example: fill up two cars and put them on the road, one with petrol and the other with CNG, let's say both with 60cl. Destination is Benin City. Fuel car reaches destination in 3 hours with 40cl, remaining 20cl. CNG car reaches destination with the exact 60cl in about 5 to 6 hours. So I believe most people would prefer fuel although more expensive. |
Re: Demystifying CNG in Automobiles by Jangbajantis: 10:49am On Oct 28, 2023 |
This is exactly what I'm referring to. 5. Limited range. Now that's a bummer. A vehicle equipped with a 2.0 to 2.4 cubic capacity engine running on a 65-85L CNG tank will cover about 200km on a full tank. Long distance trips will need breaks to fill up unlike petrol powered vehicles that can cover an average of 600km on a full tank. |
Re: Demystifying CNG in Automobiles by ojamall: 11:17am On Oct 28, 2023 |
Jangbajantis: You got it wrongly here....range has nothing with speed or time taken to reach a destination. In your example, it should be more of ; Car A & Car B travels similar distance, Car A consumed 10L costing N6,000 and Car B consumed 10 SCM of CNG which is equivalent of 50L of CNG costing N2,000 Again, it has nothing to do with speed or time taken to get to destination 3 Likes |
Re: Demystifying CNG in Automobiles by ojamall: 11:20am On Oct 28, 2023 |

The government should ensure a regular supply of CNG so that private individuals can establish gas stations such as is done for petrol and cooking gas. We need a mass training program, probably affiliated to a renowned auto technician like Gazzuzz, Automedic etc to train our youths. Certification should be provided to prevent half-baked technicians. Also, just as people are importing phone accessories and generator parts, the importation of CNG conversion kits should be regulated (quality) and incentivized (duty free). The present problem is a great opportunity for all. As I said to someone last month, just like coal faded into oblivion as a source of energy, fossil fuels (petrol, kerosene, diesel) are on their way out. Gas is the future though solar too could have a very little share of the market. Fellow Nigerians, how do we maximize this opportunity. So much money to be made. 1 Like |
