"Fulton Homes jumped at the chance to partner with industry leaders like Southwest Gas and AutoNation Honda to create a state-of-the-art energy efficiency option for homebuyers in our Queen Creek Station community," says Dennis Webb, vice president of operations at Fulton Homes. "For owners of compressed natural gas vehicles, who wouldn't love the convenience of being able to refuel in the comfort of their own home? We're excited to see our customers' reactions regarding the in-home CNG filling stations."    

In addition to the convenience of refueling at home, owning a CNG vehicle has incentives that vary by state. In Arizona, CNG vehicle owners have 24-hour access to high-occupancy vehicle lanes, reduced vehicle registration fees and a statewide Fuel Excise Tax Exemption of 18 cents per gallon.

Southwest Gas provides natural gas service to approximately 1.9 million customers in Arizona, California and Nevada.
