compressed natural gas for vehicles

This is what Howard said on Nov 20 1997:

Automotive Industry

In 1995, ten per cent of Australia’s net emissions were generated by cars, four wheel drives and light commercial vehicles.

We will implement an Automotive Industry Environmental Strategy, in consultation with the automotive and oil industries and other stakeholders, to enhance the industry’s environmental performance.

This strategy will involve several elements including:

mandatory, model specific, fuel efficiency labelling;
harmonised noxious emissions standards with international standards by 2006;
a 15 per cent fuel efficiency improvement target by 2010 over business as usual through negotiation with automotive companies; and
bringing forward the phase-out of leaded petrol, taking equity considerations into account.
The Government will also develop a basic network of compressed natural gas refuelling stations in selected metropolitan areas to encourage light commercial vehicles to switch to this more environmentally friendly fuel.

These measures will reduce air pollution and improve the health of our cities as well as reducing greenhouse gas emissions.

Anybody seen these gas stations? Howard is the biggest liar this country has ever seen.
