No, 'Compressed Natural Gas' is a gas (mostly methane) that is compressed to
about 3000 psi and stored in tanks on the vehicle. Not to be confused with
'Liquified Natural Gas' which is methane that has been cooled to the point
of turning liquid. Either way, the energy content per kg is about the same.
