What benefit is associated with maintenance costs when using CNG?

Using compressed natural gas (CNG) as a fuel option can lead to potential savings in maintenance costs. This is primarily due to the cleaner-burning nature of CNG compared to conventional gasoline or diesel fuels. CNG produces fewer emissions, which contributes to less carbon buildup in the engine and exhaust systems. As a result, engines tend to operate more efficiently and require less frequent servicing, including oil changes and exhaust system cleaning.

Furthermore, reduced wear and tear on engine components can translate to lower repair costs over time, as parts may last longer when subjected to cleaner combustion. This reduction in maintenance frequency and cost can make CNG a more economically viable choice for fleets and consumers looking to manage their overall expenditure on vehicle upkeep.
