Dudes from SG - CNG?
Hey guys,
Read with interests from todays Straits Times about car converting to CNG.
A guy installs CNG in his new Porche Cayman gets a rebate of 40% of his registration fees (about S$30K). Another driver claims that he pays about S$227 in fuel charges for 1 month for more than 2000km of milege.
Sounds tempting, especially in times of rising fuel costs.
Any bros here tried this on their 8 yet?
thks

I saw that ad once about 1 year ago. Made appt to go down to consult. The installer took a look and said that the tank wont fit anywhere, not even inside the boot.
I saw the tank and it's massive!

Now that is something you do not see on the road everyday.
there are many good reads about CNG in www.mycarforum.com.
Nothing about installing CNG on the 8 though.

Anyways, IMHO, a gas-powered porsche isn't quite the same...
And I wonder what would happen if a car with a CNG tank is seriously rear-ended in the event of an accident...all that compressed gas! Boom!
