Years ago I was involved with a Compressed Natural Gas project in Phoenix. Police cars, busses, Airport Shuttle vans, etc. The emmissions were reduced, higger octane rating, lower cost for fuel, all that goodness. 5 years later, they were all but extinct. There are and have been many "alternative" and "clean" fuels over the years. They don't fit the narrative...
the tank took up the whole trunk, it was an aluminum fiberglass wrapped one, which was way lighter than the steel ones.
car ran incredibly smooth on natural. Back then there were no computer controls…you would pull a lever under they dash to switch back and forth from gas to natural and back. Very economical to run

Back in the early 90’s I had a 1978 Toronado that was converted to Natural gas. I worked for the gas utility back then and we always came across cars like that. We had fast fill and slow fill stations around the city.
