A few years back we had a work car that ran on Natural Gas, there was only one refuelling point in Canberra. It only cost <$7 to fill the tank and a tank would last approximately 800km (can't remember what capacity the tank was though???).

I wonder what the drawbacks were (apart from a lack of places to refuel) as it seemed like something that might take off but now I only see one city bus that advertises it is fueled by natural gas.

The draw back is that a compressor is needed to compress the gas enough to get it into the tank.
In California they have natural gas(CNG) powered cars. The owners can hire a filling station which they keep at home and connect to their gas supply. The car is attached to the filling station over night to be filled as it takes about 8 hours to fill an empty tank.
This is a great idea but I doubt it would ever happen here. The fuel/oil company's would be loosing too much money. Plus our government(unlike the Californian government) doesn't give a toss about the people being able to save some money.
