Buyers in California of Honda's new, natural-gas powered Civic GX can choose to home-fuel their vehicles, with a device called (check the meter on your obviousity detector) "PHILL." The Phill unit is a small, compact gas compressor that can deliver up to 3,600 pounds per square inch of natural gas. It costs about $3,500, which can often be offset by local incentive programs. Click through for a photo of the dashing Phill. (Check out the hose on that guy!)
