Currently? Or ever? Because the history of non-gas-powered cars goes back to the beginning of cars. Diesel, for example. Hell, Mister Porsche made an electric car to drive to Paris in 1899. Also, in the mid-late 90s, everyone was CNG crazy. By the like 1999 everyone wanted hydrogen fuel cells. Look up the PNGV program, for example: the then-big-three said they couldn't possibly develop alternative-fueled vehicles on their own, so the government stepped in and said, here's a way y'all can make this happen, and stop bullshitting about excuses for not doing it. There were some very cool cars out of that program. GM's Precept, for example.

Don't know if it is of any use. Amoco built a CNG fueling station in Farmington, NM a number of years ago. It died from lack of interest/use. In the same area, a company that serviced and drilled wells (Aztec Oil & Gas) wanted to change over their fleet of trucks and drill rigs to NG. The idea was shot down by the gas provider. Keep in mind, this is the 2nd or 3rd largest natural gas producing area in the country. Not good when that happens.
