You could then link it to solar panels on your roof and of course Grid Power all working in unison.

It's kind of stupid that we have computers that are more than capable of managing these systems and the best things we use them for are playing games, tracking peoples spending habits and pornography (my favorite).
Honda has a civic GX that compresses Natural Gas to CNG, it doesn't convert it to hydrogen which is impossible.

That said if you actually have natural gas at your home the Civic GX might be an ok choice for an around town second car. They get 36 miles per "Gallon"

They claim range is about 200 miles which for around town driving is more than enough. Obviously taking long trips is out of the question.

Natural gas BTW when you run the THERM calculation costs about $1.80 here in central Florida so it is a deal. Oil and spark plugs last for ever in the CNG burn is tremendously clean. And if ya care about these sort of things it is the cleanest car in the USA.
