Guys, gas is not the way to go.

Yes, it's popular here in Europe. Yes, it's money saver - but you still have to burn gas:gasoline in about 50:50 relation.

Besides that it's a PITA. Takes up space in trunk. You can't drive into some parkings under the roof (most parkings by shopping centres in the middle of cities). It's still not very safe (we're talking about pressurized flammable and explosive gas). Every-year technical diagnostics of your car (mandatory in some european countries) is FEW TIMES more expensive if car has gas installation.

Gas installation has reached in Europe the reputation of "cheapskate" way of saving on one's car, and starts to be tolerated only amongst cars that are extensively used - like taxi cabs or company cars. Just try and suggest a European with a powerful (or sports or luxury) car that he adds a gas installation to his car. He'd treat your arse like he treats his gas pedal

Seriously, don't try it

I'm waiting for electric and hydrogen-powered cars though. I don't know how 6th gen Camaro will look like, but I'm sure it won't be gasoline-powered
