The Pensacola Energy Natural Gas Fueling Station opened last October.
http://www.pensacolaenergy.com/fueling.asp
It's open to fleets and the public and sells compresssed natural gas (CNG) at the equivalent of $2.05 per gallon.
The shale-gas revolution has given America an abundance of natural gas that is turning out to be a cheaper alternative to liquid fuels derived from oil. You don't get the mileage you do from gasoline or diesel, but there are cost-savings that cannot be overlooked. Fleets are starting to come around to using CNG. Long-haul truckers are also coming around. The BNSF railway is starting to experiment with switching some of its trains from diesel to CNG. As more of these stations open up, you might even see more cars using CNG. Pensacola Energy is hoping to open another facility at Ellyson Industrial Park, targeting the fleet traffic that heavily transits the park.
The shale revolution is also giving the U.S. greatly increased oil production, but it remains more expensive than natural gas because oil from shale is technologically-challenging and therefore more costly to produce.
