Chrysler will be having competition. In this year, GMC or General Motors Co. will be selling natural-gas models of 2 pickups – Chevrolet Silverado & GMC Sierra 2500 HD. GM trucks will be running on gasoline & natural gas for around 650 miles (or 1,050 kms). Ford Motor Co. is offering natural-gas powered pick ups & vans since the year 2009.

Option of natural gas appeals for plenty of reasons. It comes through domestic sources, for people who are concerned about oil imports. It produces around thirty percent fewer green house gas emissions as compared to conventional diesel or gasoline. Also, it costs much less as compared to gasoline. Prices of natural gas dropped by 18 percent in this year and the prices of regular gas increased by 13 percent.
