Tulsa, OK – Don't let the high price of gasoline get you down. Compressed natural gas, or "CNG", is cheap in the state of Oklahoma. It is also unaffected by foreign events.

Blue Energy Fuels General Manager Court Newkirk in Tulsa says we have plenty of natural gas. While gasoline is over $3 a gallon. CNG is about 75-cents per gallon.

Newkirk says there will be over 50 public fueling stations in Oklahoma by the end of the year.
