“Come with us to fill this CNG-installed Koropey. If you look around, CNG is now more accessible than ever. So today, we’re filling our 65-liter CNG cylinder, which holds the equivalent of 13 SCM of gas, costing just N3,000 and it would last a whole day in Lagos. It will costs you around N78,000 to fill 65 liters of petrol in your vehicle that’s at the rate of N1,200 per liter. Bruhh Pick a side. More and more drivers are converting to CNG for a cheaper, greener alternative.”

Another driver buys CNG
Meanwhile, a driver who drives a CNG-powered bus was seen at a filling station buying gas for the vehicle.
The man, seen at a NIPCO filling station, opted for CNG instead of the regular premium motor spirit.
Using CNG fuel could be cheaper, as a man also posted another video showing he filled a car cylinder for only N1900.
