I know of a company that is putting in 2 stations a month starting in November. Pressure should be a steady 3600psi with 4 pumps per site.

This is just a precursor to raising the price…whether the demand is high or not.

This is common with alternate fuel vehicles. The infrastructure isn't in place to support them. Until alternate fuels are readily available, this isn't a viable option.

I was wondering, how do they figure the per gallon road tax on CNG? Is it equal to gasoline and diesel, or do they even charge the state and federal highway taxes on CNG? I hope the tax isn't the 40% savings.

How about turning the pressure up to 3600 and adding a '3000' regulator and hose for those vehicles like everywhere else in the country. That can be done quickly.
You can also about adding more storage capacity (tanks) which would have a shorter lead time than additional compressor equipment?

As a CNG user here in Utah I would fully support giving Questar the federal tax credit (fourty cents?) for improving stations that sell CNG

This article doesn't even mention that half the time when I go to Flying-J, 2-3 of the 4 pumps they half are usually out of order at any given time.
