This is the kind of news we like to see!  UPS is adding more Liquid Natural Gas fueled trucks to its existing fleet.  The new trucks will be based in Harrisburg, PA, taking advantage of inexpensive natural gas from the Marcellus and Utica shales.

One of the main drivers behind low prices for bonuses and royalties in West Virginia right now is the fact that there just isn’t enough demand for the product.  Wells are being shut in because there isn’t enough pipeline capacity to handle all the production.  Local use of natural gas would help drive those prices up.  Let’s see more natural gas vehicles!
