Man Who Used Cheap Fuel Sold For 230 Breaks Silence After Buying it For His Vehicle

• A man who uses compressed natural gas (CNG) to run his vehicle has said it is cheaper and cost-effective than PMS
• The man disclosed that at the time, he bought it at around N230 per cubic meter and that N3450 could fill a car
• Currently, there are reports that CNG is being sold at N200 and above per cubic meter in some filling stations that have it

A man who uses CNG as fuel for his car said he was not worried when the price of petroleum motor spirit (PMS) went up.

He said all he did was laugh when he saw the news that the price of PMS had gone up because he uses CNG as fuel.

In a video shared by Arise News, another man, Oke Yusuf, who is knowledgeable about CNG and also uses it, said it was completely safe.

Yusuf said the tank used to store CNG was bulletproof and could not just catch fire if there was a leakage.

He said:

"For the 65 litres, it can take up to 150km of distance travelled. If you are buying it, it is about N3450 because the price for the gas is N230 per cubic meter. So if you are filling up that 65 litre, which is 15 cubic meters, it is going to cost you a total of N3450, and it is going to take for a distance covered of 150km."

The video was posted in July 2023 at a time when PMS prices had just gone up in Nigeria, and drivers searched for alternative sources of fuel.

Currently, there are reports that CNG is sold at N200 per cubic meter in some filling stations.
