Today’s the final day of the trip and I just dropped the car off to be shipped back to Texas. Cheryl and I are headed to the Boston airport to fly home and catch up on our sleep. Thanks again to everyone who followed our journey. I’ll be posting additional updates as my research continues.

Here’s our final wrap-up video of the trip. See you back in Austin!

We have arrived in Boston!! We drove into town this afternoon completing our multi-city, 2,575.6 mile journey from Austin on natural gas!

This trip has been wonderful, and we met so many interesting people along the way who shared their stories and experiences with us as we made our way across the country. We heard from hopeful enthusiasts, skeptics, policy makers and friends along the route, and we greatly appreciate everyone’s time and support of our efforts.

During the trip, we had a vehicle follow us for safety reasons and to help document the trip, and while it too was a converted, dual-fuel CNG vehicle we opted to have it run the trip on gasoline so that we could have a handy comparison when we wrapped up. I have done a quick analysis of the trip, and compared our stats to the stats of the vehicle that followed us. Here are the highlights:

We took our savings and headed to Fenway Park. We were able to score 2 seats, and had enough left over for ballgame snacks and even a baseball hat souvenir.

Tomorrow we head back home, and I will be back with a summary of my overall impressions of the trip and what its like to drive a CNG vehicle. Thanks for following the trip!

Note: these are my initial quick calculations, and I will do a more thorough analysis when I get back home. These numbers do not account for the unused fuel that remains in the tanks of the two vehicles.
