There are cars that run on diesel, CNG (Compressed Natural Gas), LPG (Liquefied Petroleum Gas) and electric power.
There are buses that run on diesel fuel, others that run on gasoline, and still others that run on propane or natural gas. The tram, or trolley, is a bus that runs on electricity.Ray
Natural Gas is not used as it is, but is distributed more popularly in pressurized containers as Compressed Natural Gas. It is a much less polluting and more eco-friendly alternative to petrol and diesel, and has found wide usage in cars and other automobiles, including public transport. For instance, in Gujarat state of India, in the Bus Rapis Transit System buses run on CNG.
Natural gas is being used in a wide array of areas. For instance, buses in California use CNG (Compressed Natural Gas) to run their engines instead of traditional Diesel fuel. Many homes use natural gas for their stoves and ovens as well as to heat their homes.
There is no telling when the world will run out of natural gas. This all depends on whether or not it is conserved.
Most large trucks use diesel fuel. Some also use regular gasoline, and some specialized truck run on compressed natural gas.
One runs on Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) and one runs on gasoline. With the right modifications, a single engine can run on both fuels.
To convert your used pickup trucks to run on compressed natural gas would take a lot of scientific innovation, and would cost more money than the truck would be worth. In Colombia South America where I live nearly all PU trucks and 4X$ are converted to Natural Gas. The problem in the US is all the regulations in place that make it expensive. The actual process is actually very inexpensive and could be done for $600 or less without the regulation.
dumb a##, fireplaces dont run on gasoline, they run on natural gas
There will always be some natural gas.
never
Natural gas will simply run out, and no longer be available as a form of energy.
