Anyone have experience with CNG or bio-diesel vehicles?

[cui bono]

I'm thinking of getting one or looking into converting to one and just hoping to get some first hand info. I'm in southern California.

Thanks.

1. None personally... several friends with them.

VW Diesel TDI's mostly.

Tend to edge out hybrids if you're on the highway more than city. Better performance. In cold weather you need to use a blend so the fuel won't gel... the bioD gels much easier than regular diesel. One of my friends used to cut it really close with 85%+ biodiesel... and found herself stranded a couple of times. If it happens you're going to wait until it gets warm before you're starting your car again.

2. That's interesting. Well it doesn't get too cold here in L.A. so I should be ok.
