According to Steve DeSutter, Stripes president and CEO – Retail, this is part of a pilot project. The company will evaluate the results in West Texas, and if successful they will gradually introduce CNG fueling capabilities in other Stripes markets.
“Adding natural gas to our conventional motor fuel products reinforces our mission to give Stripes customers what they want at a great price. We certainly see the role of CNG in our energy future, and we are looking forward to participating as it evolves as a viable alternative transportation fuel,” said DeSutter.
Moreover, Steve Farris, Apache’s Chairman and CEO, stated: “We use natural gas for our fleet cars and trucks with great results, lowering operating costs and reducing our environmental footprint. Partnering with Stripes provides our fleet and other CNG users with a more convenient fueling experience as well as access to their stores and other amenities.”
