ZOOM ZOOM: Honda Motor Co. hopes that high gasoline prices coupled with the ability to refuel at home will spur sales of its natural gas cars. The automaker plans to go nationwide with sales next year.

BENEFITS: Natural gas cars are cheaper to operate than their gasoline-powered counterparts, have lower emissions and benefit from tax breaks.

DRAWBACKS: Natural gas cars have to be refueled more often, and refueling stations available to the public are limited in number.
