GAS: Natural not best bargain

Front page article in the Coeur d'Alene Press March 11: Post Falls considering using natural gas in vehicles instead of gasoline. (Please don't shoot the messenger!)

Natural Gas 126.67 cuft or 3.587 cubic meters contains 900 BTUs per cubic foot.

One cubic foot of gasoline contains 852,720 BTUs: 114,000 BTUs per gallon X 7.48 gallons per cubic foot.
