The natural-gas-powered Civic GX is an extremely versatile car that has a multitude of uses. With all the possibilities, some of you might have specific questions about its capabilities. Below are the answers to some of the most frequently asked questions. And if you have a question that is not addressed, please don't hesitate to contact your Civic GX dealer.
Q: The Civic GX is a dedicated natural-gas vehicle. What does that mean?
A: A dedicated natural-gas vehicle, like the GX, runs exclusively on clean-burning natural gas. This guarantees 100% alternative-fuel use. Some other natural-gas vehicles use a "bi-fuel" system that doesn't offer the same economic and low-emissions benefits that a dedicated system offers.
Q: How clean are the emissions of the engine in the Civic GX?
A: The Civic GX engine produces almost no emissions. The amount of smog-forming emissions is near zero. In fact, the GX is the cleanest-burning internal-combustion vehicle in the world.*
Q: How far can the GX go on a full tank of natural gas?
A: The GX can go approximately 170 miles before it runs out of fuel, according to the EPA. †
Q: How much does the 2008 Civic GX NGV cost?
A: The GX has a manufacturer's suggested retail price (MSRP) of $24,590 but will usually cost you much less. That's because the Civic GX qualifies for incentives based on the fact that it is environmentally friendly and lessens the nation's dependence on gasoline. The Civic GX may qualify for a federal tax credit for eligible buyers (please consult your tax advisor for details) and may also qualify for state and local financial incentives that help reduce its $6,830 incremental cost (the additional cost of a natural-gas Civic GX over a gasoline Civic). In addition, the Civic GX may qualify for non-monetary incentives such as allowing you to drive in the carpool lane (the High Occupancy Vehicle [HOV] lane) even if there is only one person in the car.
