在这项研究中，我们在大洛杉矶地区的五个压缩天然气站的每个站调查了大约50名消费者，并在附近的五个加油站作为对照组。我们调查了加油站的司机，并询问他们之前和下一站，他们在加油前后从事的活动类型，他们住在哪里，以及其他关于他们自己，他们的车辆以及他们为什么在那里加油的问题。利用地理信息系统，我们计算了每个加油站的贸易区域、离家的距离以及他们偏离加油最短路径的程度。结果证实了天然气汽车的早期采用者的意愿和/或必要性，以加油离家更远，更频繁地在中途的旅行，并绕道更远的最少旅行时间的路线，比汽油司机。特别是，天然气司机愿意偏离他们的路线长达6分钟，也加油更多的工作为基础的旅行和更少的家庭锚定旅行比汽油司机。
In this study, we survey about 50 consumers at each of five compressed natural gas stations in the greater Los Angeles region, and at five nearby gasoline stations as a control group. We surveyed drivers at the stations while they refueled, and asked them for their previous and next stops, the type of activities they engaged in before and after refueling, where they live, and other questions about themselves, their vehicles, and why they refueled where they did. Using geographic information systems, we calculated trade areas for each station, distance from home, and the degree to which they deviated from their shortest paths to refuel. Results confirm the willingness and/or necessity of early adopters of natural gas vehicles to refuel farther from home and more frequently in the middle of a trip, and detour farther off their least travel-time routes, than gasoline drivers. In particular, natural gas drivers show a willingness to deviate up to 6 min from their routes, and also refuel more on work-based trips and less on home-anchored trips than gasoline drivers.
