oil consumption goes to diesel fuel consumption for large trucking operations across the country.2 One of the main targets for the incorporation of LNG as Major fuel source has therefore been the trucking industry. Our country relies heavily on trucking to ship many of our goods, food and other vital resources. So, if future truck fuel forecasts could be improved, our country would save billions on foreign oil spending and other costs. Since LNG is available here in the United States, Americans could potentially reduce their reliance on foreign oil by switching to LNG, thereby becoming more independent in energy production. LNG is also somewhat cheaper overall than diesel and it is the only fuel source (so far) that is competitive with diesel in terms of the amount of energy it can provide per tank of gasoline . LNG occupies only about sixty percent of the volume that a tank of diesel would occupy and is more energetic than its close relative, CNG (compressed natural gas).2 Thus, a tank of LNG can provide sufficient fuel for a big truck. run about 400 miles before having to
