Funny you mention this, just this past weekend I was pulling into a parking lot and saw a 08 or 09 white lancer with PROPANE in big red letters on the back. I waited 15 or 20 mins to try and catch the owner but never seen them. It made me real curios on what that car had going on.

From what I understand, the conversion is fairly simple: a tank in the trunk (prepare to lose quite a chunk of it), some "plumbing" and hardware in the fuel rail to feed the engine with the gas, and some electronics to switch between fuel and gas (you still need regular fuel as CNG does not lubricate, and I think is not safe to turn the engine off with it), I'm sure there's more involved, but never done it myself (my brother had it done in and vehicle of his).

Seems interesting, but if it was so simple, all the car manufacturers would already be on top of this idea. Furthermore, you can't just go to a gas station and tell them "$20 of regular unleaded and $10 of propane" :laughing:

My concern is... would it still pass emissions?

Well, in some other countries manufacturers actually ship GNC ready vehicles and there is a big GNC distribution chain.
I've seen GNC powered Civics, and Ford Contours here, but they were fleet cars (govmt and what not), so I'm guessing the distribution chain is limited to the govmt.

I'm sure it will, if it's the only only thing they measure is Carbon emissions. GNC is much cleaner than regular gas. I think it is actually the cleaner of fossil fuels!
Now, they could get annoying because of the fuel system modifications...
