A new CNG station opened up in Clearwater, Florida earlier this month. The third one in the state—but the first in the Tampa Bay area—it is open to the city’s fleet vehicles (including municipal vehicles like garbage trucks), as well as the general public.
The garbage trucks alone, said Brian Langille, operation manager for Clearwater Gas System, go through about 40 gallons of fuel a day, and he hopes to save $15,000 to $20,000 a year, just by switching to American natural gas.
