Just like a Pious, then. Half decent fuel consumption in start stop town
traffic, but far worse than a conventional vehicle at near steady speed
motorway, etc, work.

I've oft wondered why they don't use LPG for busses? Virtually no
pollution other than CO2. Engines are much quieter too.

They do use CNG on the continent.
