Honda Car Forum

Greetings!

I'm afraid I might be looking for something that doesn't exist, but
maybe you can tell me!

I want a Honda vehicle, and right now it doesn't matter whether it's a
Civic, Accord, Element, or other size/shape, as long as it has four
wheels/tires and a manual transmission.

The tricky part is that I want it to have been built (not modified) to
run on LPG, and I want to buy it (new or used) in the United States.

Where should I look?

Merry Christmas!
Elisabeth

How about natural gas instead:

Manual transmission is very tiresome in bumper to bumper,
rush hour traffic!

ps. why do you want one? the fuel is more expensive, less available,
and has a lower calorific value.

Thanks for your responses!

I have international experience with manual transmission, and a year's
experience with CNG,
so Andy & Carol I know I want manual, and Art, JXStern and Jim Beam I
know I don't want CNG (=natural gas =Civic GX food)
CNG is too inconvenient to find -- I have to spend a lot of time
driving out of my way to get it.

I have driven with LPG (=LP Gas =autogas) in Europe and wonder, Jim
Beam, how you find it more expensive.
I have understood it to be better for the wallet as well as for the
environment.

Maybe worldlpgas.com can give me an idea when/where such a car will be
available here in the US, or if you find anything, please do post me!

Thanks again for your time!
Elisabeth

As far as I can tell, Honda does not make a LPG propelled vehicle
(production). At least for the US market.

And the GX does not come in a manual.

I am kind of leary of driving any vehicle with an explosive pressurized
tank, though. Just my own thing, I guess...

The same. Anything that puts a pressurized tank of explosive material in
a position to be impacted in a crash is a little scary to me.

Just having a pressurized tanks of anything is dangerous in a crash. Even
a highly pressurized tank of air being impacted would not be very safe.
