Buy a CNG Honda Civic and get $3,000 fuel card free in the U.S.
Its been often heard in Pakistan by buyers of local cars that dealerships don’t even provide enough fuel in the car for it to arrive on the nearest gas station to fill it up but in South America, where CNG is only $2 (192 PKR) for a gallon, a new deal has been given on CNG Honda Civic where the buyer would get $3000 worth of fuel card free.

This video is a stark reminder to each one of us who hasn’t by now, gone out HDIP to get our CNG tanks out.

Thankfully though, both the driver and the pump attendant were not …

If you’ve seen Michael Bay or Indian movies, than it is a well documented fact that any vehicle that crashes will blow up into a massive fireball which can be seen from miles away but the fact of the matter is that it will not, unless you have a CNG or LPG tank fitted into your vehicle. We’re not entirely sure as to what is that ‘gas’ tank which exploded in the van in this video, but we’re guessing its the pressurize LPG tank which exploded after the fire had been raging for sometime.

CNG sector will be wiped out gradually by the government in a couple of years
Unfortunately folks, the time is here. The time to say good bye and look for some other viable option as a fuel is right above us.

However, Minister for Petroleum Dr Asim Hussain, while speaking in Lahore said that the past Government’s decision and policy for CNG promotion was false and that he has set his target to phase-out the CNG sector gradually from all of Pakistan …

CNG kits banned but available in black market on high prices
When the news of the latest stunt by the government broke out, we covered the story and also offered our disappointment in the decision as well as our opinion that Pak Suzuki wouldn’t let this happen but our prediction went wrong and now car sales are expected to drop by 20%. Pakistan is the recent years have taken over Argentina and Brazil in CNG being used in cars however, the CNG crisis hasn’t been caused by this but rather the corrupt bureaucrats that gave permits for 8-10 CNG stations at a meager distance of only 1 kilometer while only one …
Ministry wants ban on CNG kits, cylinders and CNG fitted cars
As news spurred around about government planning decisively to ban the consumption of CNG, topics on Pakwheels poured with highly responses highly protesting against the ban but little did the people know that the Ministry of Petroleum & Natural Resources not only seeks a year’s ban on CNG consumption but as well as cylinder and CNG fitted cars. The government isn’t likely to implement any ban as such because such a ban would cause a huge outrage or may even spark country wide protests and Pak Suzuki will not let this happen as it would hit their business very hard. …
