SAVOY – Twin City Honda BMW isn't selling the Honda Civic GX that runs on compressed natural gas yet, but the dealership will likely ask Honda for approval to sell it locally within the next few months, according to the dealership's sales manager.

The Civic GX is the only car powered by natural gas made by a major automaker in the country. The Champaign-Urbana area seems like a natural market for it, said Chris Rogers, Honda sales manager at Twin City Honda, 100 Burwash Ave., Savoy.
