The capability, of refueling vehicles at home and at small com- mercial premises will provide natural gas with a major marketing advantage over other alternative fuels. It is expected a small home compressor will become commer- cially available within four years. One European model is currently 'being field tested here, during a Canadianwinter. Natural gas is acknowledged to be a safe vehicle fuel. Over the millions of kilometres driven by NGV vehicles in several countries, in- cluding Canada, not one fatality has occurred that can be attributed to the use of natural gas as the vehicle fuel.
