Honda to release Natural Gas-powered Civic this fall

Honda has been among fuel efficient cars for the last decade, and now the popular manufacturer is taking things to the next level. The company is set to debut its 2012 Civic Natural Gas car this fall.

The new model will be an improvement on the already-impressive gas mileage of the Civic, and it is well-suited for an eco-friendly attitude thanks to the fact that it burns natural gas. It has especially low emissions in addition to the high gas mileage, which is up substantially from the 2011 model. In addition, the cars will be eligible to travel in the high occupancy lane in California by 2015.

"Civic GX drivers in California have long enjoyed the benefits of driving a compressed natural gas vehicle, whether it was saving time commuting in the carpool lane, paying lower fuel prices, reducing dependence on oil or reducing their CO2 footprint," said Elmer Hardy, senior manager of alternative fuel marketing at American Honda Motor Co., Inc.

Whether looking to lower their carbon footprint or simply save some money on gas, a Honda Civic is an excellent choice for drivers. New Jersey Auto Auction offers plenty of fuel-efficient cars at affordable prices.
