CNG Has Been The Best Option For Consumers Looking To Save
With the gradual increase in gasoline, diesel, and ethanol prices in recent months, some consumers in Ribeirão Preto (SP), just like in Pernambuco, are turning to compressed natural gas to save money.
According to experts on the subject, gas can reduce costs by up to 50% compared to other fuels. According to Elise Magazoni Moraes, the owner of a workshop, opting out of fuels like gasoline is a switch that only brings advantages for consumers.
Taxi driver Jorge Batista confirms this, having left fossil fuels behind for gas. Batista states that like him, other consumers working in passenger transport have started to use the product and achieved greater profits.
André Campos, president of Copergás, emphasized the competitiveness of the fuel and stated that in any comparative aspect, CNG offers more advantages. In addition to being more economical, the gas is less polluting and much safer.
According to him, Copergás’s goal, under the guidance of Governor Paulo Câmara, is to make compressed natural gas more accessible to Pernambucans in all regions of the state.
