Even Beverly Hills Is Doing It

The City of Beverly Hills has built a new CNG station at a cost of $1.2 million. That includes a grant of $550,000 from the South Coast Air Quality Management District. The city, which has 12 CNG vehicles expects its investment to be paid back in 5 or 6 years by reduced fuel costs. "With the price of diesel climbing, and no end in sight, it was necessary that we do something to control these costs," said Mayor William Brien.
