The vehicles run for short distances and are refueled at a central location; therefore, the buses could, and should, be run on natural gas. Natural gas engines, much cleaner environmentally than gasoline engines, provide low emissions, reliability, high fuel efficiency and excellent performance. The engines are currently being used by UPS as well as many school districts...
