The natural gas powered Honda Civic GX starts at $25,490.

“We’re asking the GX purchaser to make far fewer sacrifices than any other alternative fuel vehicle,” Eric Rosenberg, who heads Honda’s alternative fuel vehicle program here in the U.S.

The GX can drive up to 250 miles on a single tank and only takes a few minutes to fill at public or home fueling stations. The Leaf has a range of around 100 miles and requires 30 minutes to partially charge at a quick-charge station and seven to 20 hours using a standard 220 or 110 volt outlet.
