Compressed natural gas (CNG) is used in rural homes near Tualatin, Oregon without connections to piped-in public utility services, or with portable grills. Natural gas is also supplied by independent natural gas suppliers through Natural Gas Choice programs in Tualatin, Oregon and throughout the United States. However, due to CNG being less economical than LPG, LPG (propane) is the dominant source of rural gas.
CNG is a cleaner alternative to other automobile fuels such as gasoline (petrol) and diesel. As of 2012 there were 16.4 million natural gas vehicles worldwide, led by Pakistan (3.1 million), Iran (2.9 million), Argentina (2.1 million), Brazil (1.7 million), India (1.5 million), and China (1.2 million).[38][39][40] The energy efficiency is generally equal to that of gasoline engines, but lower compared with modern diesel engines. Gasoline/petrol vehicles converted to run on natural gas suffer because of the low compression ratio of their engines, resulting in a cropping of delivered power while running on natural gas (10%–15%). CNG-specific engines, however, use a higher compression ratio due to this fuel's higher octane number of 120–130.
