It's my understanding that, in order to raise the number of miles traveled
per "fill-up," natural gas cars must use additional fuel tanks. These are
often built into the trunk or hatch. Of course, most car trips are taken
by a single person (the driver), and don't use the space that would be
converted to tank use, but many people would balk at eliminating such a
large amount of their available compartment space.
Of course, they would probably change their minds when the last oil wells
start sucking fumes.
