Has anyone considered converting their car to CNG?

I'm considering doing it, do you think it will be a good move?

Shey you were arguing with me the other time. Its not even up for debate IMO. Every Bolt driver should do it. It will take less than 3 months to recoup whatever you spend doing it.

After watching most of Gazzuzz videos on TikTok, I feel it will make sense. Just that, there won't be much space for loads in the trunk..

How many times a day do you carry people with loads that won't fit into the trunk? Not worth wasting an extra 10k or more a day on fuel.

New year motivation... This is after commission. Still did over 160k on indrive same week.

Look who's on the Uber side of life
Happy New Year my brother

MrReeseG:


You have never been more right about the type of cars these amateur drivers drive. Apart from our regular guys in their IS250, corolla drivers dey drive like upgraded korope drivers.

But some legends dey here wey be say na Corolla dem dey use oh.
Make person no go step on the eyes of the elders.

Much respect, baba.

I second you on this.

Find cash, buy a cheap but mechanically sound 4 litre engine vehicle. Convert to dual Petrol CNG fuel system. Fill both tanks. Register for ehailing. Hit the streets.

Hmm, if it was me I will just get the biggest tank possible to safely fill my boot leaving space for only spare tyre and emmergency tools.

If rider shows up with more than one travelling bag as luggage or ask me to carry bag of rice i cancel. Afterall small vehicles like that shouldn't be hauling loads upandan. The the load on my rear suspension should be mainly for the gas tank only.

Who rider load epp

Where to refill on a stead is the major concern plus the cost is half enough to put another car into the business....I don't really think it what the cost sha

And you don't think it's worth the cost? Something that will save you not less than 3m in fuel cost per annum. Is that not more than the cost of putting another vehicle on the platform?

Hold on. Follow the leaders. The likes of God is Good, Peace., Agofure, ABC have not switched..

Wait for their moves.

CNG filling stations are not rampant yet. Waiting for "leaders" is not enough excuse if you ask me.

Since most drivers prefer working on the island, there is one CNG filling station at adeola odeku

He did if you Dey group, he mentioned it before switching when he noticed somethings about them.

Okayy. I no dey group sha. Just steadily learning from him on here.

Interstate journeys and ehailing are not the same thing. Not even by a mile. You shouldn't use one to compare to the other.

There has been nothing to learn from him here over the past year. He stopped posting critical information here since early last year because the hyenas wanted to eat him.

He had cracked indrive's code since early last year and only switched to using uber last December to see if some tricks can be utilised to make better income for drivers on that particular app.

Is that one your problem now? all the ones that were posting their dashboards here that you decided to create 20 new accounts to chase away what did you gain?

No, I didn't. They were rather poached away from this thread to Telegram (the weak ones though). Those who have minds of their own are still here.

This is a better platform to share and converse than a closed Telegram circuit being powered by an ego filled little self conceited creten

Oh . . . Very interesting So you were aware of the bolded above before you barged into this thread with your lies and double speak against an innocent person? 🤔

Is the last part of your post the reason you told numerous lies against him here? Are you so insecure about his achievements that you even had to trace him into the same Telegram group you disparage but are yet to make a single post on there ever since you joined early last year?

Yep that's me right there . . . I give tips , always have always been. Right from 2006 when I joined this forum.

What of you? What do you give on this forum apart from lies, deceit, hatred, jealousy and envy?

Don't worry . . . Think hard and take your time to answer, I will wait

What do you know? Switching to cng is to ultimately avoid high cost of fuel.
Interstate vehicles. "God is good n co "expend more on fuel than ehailing drivers, fuel is a major cost to them and they havent converted to cng yet. They use more fuel than ehailing drivers. There's no ehailing driver that buys 50k fuel/day.

The simple reason they haven't converted to CNG is because of the dearth of proper CNG filling stations along their route plus the inconvenience of installing a rather larger CNG tank into their chassis which will reduce the amount of passengers or luggage they can haul on any given trip.

It's apples and oranges bro.

so where will I be refilling since you say it will save me 3m per annum until refilling station is wide spread then it's not what it ....plus Nigeria that I know eh once that goes into mainstream the guys in charge will hike the price just as usual then start telling us how much they are selling it in Europe and the likes

You learn from the leaders because they have more business insights.
Per vehicle on a one on one basis,the Young shall grow /Agofure/Ekeson buses still buy more fuel than the ehailing drivers. Don't forget,they even operate in routes ( south eastern/southern)where fuel is way above 600 naira ..
So why are they not switching? That is the question ?

And this reason you gave does not apply to ehailing.. you obviously don't drive, because you won't tell those that take airport trips to do CNG.
You follow and watch the leaders..
