If I can't afford it, it's not an alternative.  There are exactly two
alternatives available to me:
1) Propane (fossil fuel)
2) Natural gas (currently a fossil fuel)

A natural gas conversion currently costs $8000 Canadian.  It would pay for
itself after 10 years (!).  A new natural gas vehicle costs $28000... it would
never pay for itself.

There are no other alternatives NOW.

I'm keeping my eyes open for a used natural gas powered vehicle... I'm not
holding my breath though.
