On October 2, 2012, Governor Bob McDonnell announced a signature component of his all fuels approach with the state contracting with Natural Gas and Propane Autogas alternate fuel suppliers and the state fleet transition to these cleaner less expensive domestic fuels.  This announcement includes partners with Alliance Autogas and with Clean Energy who will each provide fueling infrastructure, vehicles, service, and state level contract pricing for the equipment and fuel.  Initially, fuel on the Propane Autogas side is expected to cost $1.68 per gallon, while CNG will cost $1.19 per gallon equivalent for vehicle use.  Bulk contracts will be available for localities, and most stations built in this initiative will be available to the public for refueling.
