THIS IS SO SMART, I can't believe it is happening in PENSACOLA! NOW IF WE CAN ALL CONVERT TO NATURAL GAS IN OUR CARS WOW! America sends ONE BILLION DOLLARS A DAY to the middle east for OIL. THAT IS A DAY PEOPLE. All we need to do is have our cars fitted and get more stations. I hope this is just the beginning. The middle east keeps getting richer and we keep getting poorer.
