retrofit on my boss truck cost about $1000, and he has the natural gas pump installed at his house, so at night he hooks up and in the monring his tanks are full.
You need big tanks though, and they would be really no room in the civic for them. He has 2 big tanks in the back of his pickup bed, and that barely gets him about 230-300 km, but its cheap, alot cheaper than what they sell NG at the pumps for, its like 55c/l equivelant to gas when you get it at the gas station, and when you pump it from your house its cheaper than that, but its slower since there is less PSI on the line at your house so it takes all night to fill the tanks if you do it that way
