CNG as an alternative petrol-replacement? How is it?

  Hi,
  
  With the increase of petrol prices in Singapore, I was surfing the web on ways to improve my fuel consumption for my car when I came across on Compressed Natural Gas (CNG). I am impressed on the cost and consumption of the CNG compared to petrol. (CNG-taxi drivers claimed that they can get up to 180km with a $20 worth of CNG). However, there aren't much information on CNG-cars (private cars) apart from the refuelling station in Jurong Island and a few upcomings in other parts of Singapore.
  
  Are there anyone out there who converted their car fuel to CNG-petrol?
  How much does it cost to convert?
  Will the car warranty void if I decide to add a CNG tank into my car?
  How's the mileage like?
  How's the power of the car if fuelled by CNG as compared to petrol?
  Where can I find more information on CNG-cars in Singapore?
  
  Many thanx!
