Honda gives away $3,000 in gas to buyers of the natural gas Civic

Natural gas is a good option. However, there are suspicious reasons why natural gas is not a fuel that everyone uses, with far fewer drivers using it than should. There is already a large number of models with engines adapted to gas and quite a few refuelling points, although in Spain we fall a little short.

In the US, the situation is not very different. There are even fewer models adapted to natural gas than in Europe. One of the models that has been on the market the longest (and indeed the only model from a “major” brand) is the Honda Civic Natural Gas, which does not sell much, but which this year has sold many more cars than last year. For this reason, Honda has decided to push this model further by giving away a gas voucher worth $3,000 (about 2,300 euros) to everyone who buys a natural gas Civic.

According to Honda, one of the biggest incentives to use gas is low emissions; but the first thing you think of when you see a gas-powered car is the savings in cash, and that is no different for the American public. Comparing the prices of gas and petrol in the US, gas costs half as much, so Honda says the annual saving would be something like almost 1,000 euros in fuel.

In our country the situation is similar, but little is being done to make the public aware of the benefits of gas. Furthermore, there are still few service stations that sell it. This is a significant delay compared with neighbouring countries that have begun adopting it on a massive scale.
