Looking for a way to get around that doesn’t rely on oil?
Ideally, you’d want it to be friendlier to the environment.
You would probably want its fuel to be less expensive, too.
If it could save you time, then so much the better. And
if it were so convenient that you’d never have to stop at
gas stations – now, that would be the way to go. The fact
is, you can go that way today. With the natural gas -fueled
Honda Civic GX, you can have all of the above. Plus, you’ll
get to enjoy all the benefits of driving one of the most
popular cars in America as well.
In the world of alternative fuel vehicles,
there’s one clear choice.
If you’ve ever sat in traffic, looking enviously at the
cars whizzing by in the carpool lane, the Civic GX holds
a special attraction. Because as an alternative- fuel
vehicle, it can qualify for admission into carpool lanes
in many states1 – even with only the driver aboard.
Plus, you can save a lot more than just time in the GX.
Natural gas is typically less costly than an equivalent
quantity of gasoline, especially at residential gas rates.
And savings through available GX purchase and tax
incentives2 may start with a big $4,000 federal tax credit.
Energy independence is an important goal for the U.S.
And the Civic GX helps us get closer. While most oil
is imported, almost all of our natural gas comes from
North America. The GX is also friendlier to the planet –
a fact made clear by EPA certification that showed this
Civic to be the cleanest internal-combustion vehicle on
Earth.3 Its lower greenhouse gas emissions make for
less of an impact on global warming. And on top of all
that, the GX is fun to drive, thanks to its nimble handling,
a responsive 113-hp, 1.8-liter i -VTECR engine and a
smooth-shifting 5-speed automatic transmission.
Drive past the pump. Every time.
Unless you really like the coffee,
you can forget about stopping at
your local gas station when
driving a Civic GX. Because now
there’s Phill, a handy natural
gas -vehicle refueling appliance that taps into your
gas supply right at home. Plus, Phill might
qualify you for more incentives,3 including a
federal tax credit of $1,000 – just another benefit
of owning this unique car. Of course, the GX is
all Civic at heart. So you get to enjoy spacious
comfort, sleek style and easy handling. And it has
all the Civic safety features, like six airbags and
the highly sophisticated Advanced Compatibility
EngineeringT (ACET) body structure – tough
enough to garner a 5 -star frontal crash -test rating
from the U.S. government.4 If you’d like more details
