IF THE COST OF OPERATING NG RIGS CAN BE SHOWN TO BE LESS THAN PRESENT COSTS, MAYBE, JUST MAYBE, IT WOULD BE WORTHWHILE CREATING A SHORT DURATION "SUBSIDY" TO GET RIGS ON THE ROAD AND GIVE THE IDEA A REALWORLD TEST.

Let's look to our neighbor, Mexico where NG is readily available for use in vehicles. Indeed, some short-range trucks have converted to NG from gasoline ... I don't think any converted from diesel but I'm not sure on that. But you see no conversions of large diesels. Diesel is still king when it comes to efficiency and range.Those short-range trucks are having to constantly stop and fuel up. Not a big issue for them in their daily routines.But the larger trucks would have to stop more often - adding time to the trips. They would use more fuel - adding costs to the trips. It would require a different maintenance set-up - adding costs. Using NG for large trucks is a no-go. Let’s look to our neighbor, Mexico where NG is readily available for use in vehicles.
