I did a little more research and here's what I found. New cheve's (several models ) come in 4 and 2 wd reg, or clud cab, swb,or lwb. The 2012 cost about $11000 more for the option. That means based on gas @ 3.50 gal, cng @ $1.50 and drivig an average 20,000 per year it will take about 3 1/2 years to recover the $11000. (saves about 3200 per year @ 13 mpg) This can very based on the amount you drive, actual mpg, ( I based it on the 1 ton club cab 4x4 model) If payments are a concern , consider that based on the above you save arround 300 per month.
I drive a 1999 cheve c 2500 And for my tax reasons last year found I saved about 4500 dollars. I drive alot of miles however. 30,000 last year. And that does'nt count the tax exemption you get. $2500. They are also much cleaner and easier on the engine.
I'm not a salesman, But just offering some facts.
They also have diesel bifuels that can give you about 50 mph on deisel in a full size cummings dodge. I have actually sen several 18 wheelers with conversions. Hope this helps you
P.S. Use caution if you have a conversion done aftermarket, Some of the less expensive ones will throw a conversion on anything. However you need to make sure your vehicle has the hardened valves in it , or you can have issues. Some of the older vehicles don't have the hardened valves in them.
