You can't simply extrapolate that experience to the entire nationwide
fleet of private vehicles. For one thing, the infrastructure to
distribute fuel on such a massive scale simply doesn't exist.

But the infrastructure can be greatly improved. I'd be fearful of
taking a NG vehicle on a vacation trip, but for cab fleets, delivery
fleets, police cars, it is a snap to do. Most of those never travel
more than a quarter tank of fuel from home so re-fueling from a
central point is easy.

In cities, there is some practicality for private use too.

Don't forget, there was a time that plain old gas stations did not
exit but the demand for them cause them to be built. NG would be no
different.
