CNG Vehicles

[JD]

Has anybody got any experience of running one of these CNG fueled cars around Hua Hin.

I've been looking at the Chevrolet Aveo CNG 1.6 A/T LSX. This is really just for the Mrs to use, nipper has to change from boarding school to day school from the next school year, it's just to far (70k round trip) to go in a 3 liter turbo diesel pick up truck everyday.

The Aveo is a dual fuel system using regular benzine 91 or CNG, the salesman told me it would cost about 300baht in cng for a Hua Hin - Bangkok and back trip. He later said it costs about 120 baht to fill up with CNG. So a bit more time spent at filling stations required.

I probably will not be using it much as the Mrs will be doing most of the local running around. At around 700,000 baht new, it seems like a fair deal, some 'on the road' experience from any members who have used one would be helpful.
