It's the fourth public natural gas station in Tulsa, a trend Mayor Bartlett hopes to see continue.

"We as the City of Tulsa must, must lead by example. And that's what we've done," Bartlett said.

Apache also donated a five-thousand dollar credit card to the Tulsa Transit Authority to help pay for the fuel costs of two CNG powered, wheel-chair accessible vans it donated to the city back in December.

Tulsa is in the process of converting all of the city's vehicle fleet to compressed natural gas.
