Oklahoma now has CNG station every 100 miles

The state of Oklahoma reached its goal of building a compressed natural gas (CNG) station at every 100 miles along interstate highways, reported csnews.com.

The development of a CNG infrastructure is considered as the first step of implementing Oklahoma Gov. Mary Fallin’s First Energy Plan, a program which was launched in 2011 and has involved fuel station and convenience store chains.

Oncue Express, Love’s, Hutch’s C-Stores, B&H Construction, Tulsa Gas Technologies, EZ GO Stores, and Domino Express are some of the retailers which have built stations along interstates and highways to support the governor’s plan as well as to address the growing demand for CNG in Oklahoma.

The Sooner State has the most CNG locations per capita in the country and offers CNG for an average price of $1.09 per gallon.

According to Gov. Fallin, Oklahoma has saved more than $1 million in fuel costs since the government converted much of its fleet to CNG over the last few years.
