When it comes to fueling your vehicle, you have many choices. There is traditional petroleum gasoline, diesel, compressed natural gas, E85 and various other choices. Although each one will serve its purpose in fueling your vehicle or fleet, only one is the right choice when it comes to winter fueling needs, and that’s CNG.

CNG Outsmarts the Cold

Because CNG is in a gaseous state, it does not freeze, gel or condensate as liquid fuels tend to do. This means that you can always count on your vehicle to start right up when the temperatures dip into freezing. If you stick with a traditional diesel or petroleum vehicle, you run the risk of having them struggle to start, if they even start at all. When you need your fleet to run properly in the winter, CNG provides the peace of mind that you can get the job done.

CNG Keeps Prices Consistent

Colder weather can typically result in more fuel usage or more vehicle maintenance. Petroleum fuel companies know that fuel is in high demand during this time, and many will raise their prices. Plus, since petroleum-based fuels are sourced from other countries, it’s hard to be in control of the price. If you’re not prepared for the higher prices or the engine maintenance needed on your vehicle when the weather is cold, you could find yourself with an unbalanced budget.

However, when you choose compressed natural gas, you’ll be able to keep your budget intact. CNG prices do not fluctuate the same as petroleum fuels, so you can create a fuel budget you can rely on. This means that when the weather gets cold, your fuel costs will remain the same.

CNG is a great fuel choice for personal vehicles as well as large fleets. If you’re interested in learning more about the benefits of CNG, contact one of Ozinga’s energy specialists today.
