You have piqued my curiosity. Would you mind answering these questions:
What make and model is your car?
Did you buy your car with the hybrid adapter?
If you didn't, how much did it cost you to add the hybrid capability to your
car?
Where do you fill up?
How much does it cost you to drive a mile on natural gas?
Where did you find a mechanic who will work on your car?
Besides the inconvenience, is there any other downsides to making the
modification?
Thanks,
Richard Esplin

Maybe people will start using alternative fuels. Our car is a hybrid
Compressed Natural Gas/Gas. We have saved a lot of money in the last
little while. It can be inconvenient to fill up at times, but maybe
this incident will help improve things.
We got it at the state surplus in the Draper/Bluffdale area about 2/3
years ago. It was a hybrid already. You get a tax break on it as
well. It is a '98 Ford Contour, but I think you can work the hybrid in
to quite a few different cars. I found a lot of info by speaking with
Questar. Also, if you really want to get crazy and pay a bunch of
money, you can get an adapter for your home gas and hook up the car at
night to refill. The Questar people were really nice.
