The problem is filling stations, if you drive in the middle of nowhere, which I often do, it can be difficult to find a filling station.
My solution would be to use the split. As far as the loss of power is concerned, I can always push harder on the acclerator and use gasoline when towing or carrying a heavy load.
I sent an email to a conversion place to see how much it will cost, hopefully they will return it soon.

The CNG Ford E350 vans we had were getting about 90-100 miles per tank. There were several times when the shop truck had to go out and tow them back due to running out of gas suddenly. These were used only in town and needed to be fueled daily or sometimes twice a day. A slight drop in performance compared to regular gas. We also had a CNG 4dr Civic that was used for errands.
