Notice I said "splitting hairs". Pressurized gas is always going to be more inherently dangerous, and more like to "go off". If you're inside the blast radius of gas are you really going to care if a fire breaks out after the fact?
WTF $5/Gallon?

And yeah, of course there'd be a water well.
Have one of those now.

Yup, until automakers realize NG is a good way to hit the 39mpg by 2016
depends on the car, but going by prices i'd say 7 high end bikes for one cheap car.
No, gasoline will not explode like it does in the movies.
Edit: you and your fucking "petrol"

petroleum is crude oil.
gasoline is refined crude oil. (what we put in our cars...)
diesel is the stuff left over after crude oil is refined into gasoline.
gasoline is the proper name for it. there's petroleum in the monitor you're looking at but it's not gasoline
and no, it won't. whatever first hand knowledge you want to pretend to have, mythbusters > you
I'm always intrigued when someone tries to suggest that their name is the 'proper' name when it's different around the world.
Petrol was first used as a name for the refined spirit in 1892 when it was registered as a trade name, although it may even have derived from the French. In many countries the name in use derives from benzene or naptha. Gasoline is almost exclusively the name in North America only, which doesn't make it any more the 'proper' name than any other in common use, petrol, benzin, nafta.

and the higher the octane gets the tougher it is to ignite. you can drop a match into a bucket of jet fuel and the match just goes out because jet fuel has a higher flash point than the match.
