Honda Civic Natural Gas Named 2012 Green Car of the Year!

The all-new 2012 Honda Civic Natural Gas – the only factory-built, CNG-powered car produced in America – was named 2012 Green Car of the Year at the Los Angeles Auto Show. The award was presented to Honda by the editors of Green Car Journal representing a diverse panel of environmental experts and automotive enthusiasts who annually select a single vehicle for its outstanding environmental performance.

"The Civic Natural Gas is not only a great vehicle, it also demonstrates Honda's commitment to provide a variety of alternatives to gasoline," said Michael Accavitti, Vice President of Marketing at American Honda Motor Co., Inc.

With multiple benefits including lower fuel costs and extremely low smog-forming emissions, the 2012 Civic Natural Gas currently qualifies for a state-issued decal allowing single-occupant access to High-Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) "carpool" lanes in California and several other states.

The Civic Natural Gas gets 27 mpg (city), 38 mpg (highway) gasoline gallon equivalent (GGE). The nationwide average of alternative fuel per GGE is currently $2.09, as opposed to the nationwide average price for a regular gallon of gasoline, which is currently $3.46. That saves you nearly 40% per gallon.

Honda has announced that it is expanding its retail network of Civic Natural Gas retail outlets to 200 dealers in 36 states. Previously, retail sales of the natural gas-powered Civic had been limited to four states: California, New York, Utah and Oklahoma.
