29 Cost Savings: On the Road and at the Pump Natural gas costs, on average, one-third less than conventional gasoline at the pump. Natural gas vehicles are proving to have lower operating and maintenance costs, generating significant vehicle life-cycle savings. Because natural gas burns so cleanly, it results in less wear and tear on the engine and extends the time between tune-ups and oil changes. Many fleets report 15-28% savings compared to diesel fleets.
