MidAmerican uses a fleet of natural gas vehicles.
Natural gas offers significant benefits compared to gasoline.
Natural gas vehicles have less engine wear, longer spark plug life, longer periods between oil changes and are easier to start in cold weather. Operating and maintenance costs are reduced by up to 50 percent, and natural gas costs 40 percent less per gallon than gasoline. Natural gas vehicles are ideal for private and public fleets in metro areas because they reduce emissions of carbon monoxide and smog-producing pollutants. All rights reserved.
