I think they are also in the final phases of developing an "Australian" home compressor that will be much faster than the Phill. Apparently the Phill takes about 20 hours to fill a cars cylinder and is only good as a top-up device. They are OES CNG. Their website is http://www.oes.net.au I hope they are successful because they are the only company in Australia that seems to be taking this seriously and sticking their necks out.

Running a car on natural gas can cost as low as a third of what it would on petrol, particularly given the recent increases in petrol prices, so it's up to you as to whether you think the investment would be worth it. Hopefully there might soon be some vehicles available that can utilise this cheap fuel.

American sites are quoting 3400 us. Made contact with a guy in adelaide who is going to import them with a rrp $5000.00. This blows the whole issue out of the water if you consider the electricity consumed plus the cost of car and gas. Nathan can you please tell me the rrp for the home phill system.
