[QUOTE="Campground Cattle, post: 96451, member: 195"] They are no more efficient, it is pounds of fuel to produce energy. Natural gas is a C-1 hydrocarbon having one carbon and 4 hydrogen molecules. Gasoline is based on a C-8 hydrocarbon having 8 carbons and 18 hydrogen molecules. You have to burn roughly eight gallons of natural gas to equal the energy of one gallon of gasoline. There is no way around it to produce X pounds of energy requires X pounds of fuel. It goes back to people thinking diesel trucks get better mileage to gasoline. Not true 1 gallon of diesel weighs 8 pounds gasoline 6 pounds. When you pull up tp the pump the diesel driver buys 3 gallons weighing 24 pounds the gasoline driver has to buy 4 gallons weighing 24 pounds the bought energy is now equal we sell fuel in this country by volume not weight.
