I'm thinking of installing a Compressed Natural Gas kit in my 2000 f-250 5.4L. With the price of CNG at less than half the price of gasoline per mile, and a CNG station opening up along my commute, I'm seriously considering it.
A single-point injection kit is around $700, but a sequential multi-point kit is around $1500. Apparently, the sequential system gives better power and efficiency, but both work.

A new DOT-approved 11.4 gallon (gasoline gallon equivalent) tank is about $2000 and the DOT-approved mounting straps are another $250.
Seems like a lot of money, but it also seems like it would pay for itself in about two years if fuel prices stay like this. And even then the tank and some parts would still hold much of their resale value as long as I don't explode!
