Honda's Homebrewed Natural Gas Maker Goes Under

Fuelmaker Corporation, the Honda-owned company that manufactures the Phill home-based compressed natural gas fueling station for the automaker’s Honda Civic GX sedan, has gone into bankruptcy, according to NGV Global.

The report said that the move raises questions about the viability of compressed natural gas vehicles in America, especially given that the GX was the only vehicle that consumers could buy. Dealers only sold the car to individuals in California and New York, though some other states allowed fleet purchases. Sales were low at just 800 to 1000 per year.
