Wel at leasr MICH Longer. Tehre is a smal proce though and that is a
small reduction in engien Horsepower becasue of the Lower BTU per unit
of Natural gas as compaired to Gasoline. This downside  can be made
up by Raising the compression ratio of the engine and changes in the
spark advance becasue of the Higher Octaine Rating, about 130 for
Natural Gas, as compaired to Gasoline. In fact the producvtion Natural
Gas Honda engine Horsepower in Higher than the Gasoline engined one.
With no engine modifications you get an about 10% power reduction.
