merc cab? merc boat? ...cont.

Ok fine, it's a taxi. I'm not the driver, I'm the passenger. So no power, not my business. But now this is what that really irritates. That noise. Engine is quiet, correct. But the thing below me that draw the gas from the tank isnt. ....Just imagine you are sitting on a hundred gas pipes in the toilet and the value in kitchen is being broken. That gushing noise...it just makes the entire thing sounds like a.....jet boat. Gush and gush whenever the "gas" pedal is being step on. And oh yes. it's loud. This something is really a surprise. Is it faulty? Or is just 'cos of where i sat on?

Anyway, quite an experience. Certainly good to see more "green" cab around, after having saw personally how cleaner (and quieter) HK gets after their cabs ran on LPG (another gas). But if I have a petrol car now, will I spend a thousand dollars to convert it to CNG?

No thanks, I'm a petrol-head. I need the power and not a jet boat.
