There is a new box you can pick up in the Mintor city store (pack 8b) that allows you to generate and use gas on your region.  There is an oil rig that you can rez and then push out to sea (note, you need to make sure the yellow ball is at sea level) or you can use the wind powered pump to extract gas from the ground.  Plus there are two producers of gas (one large one not so) and a new task associated with them.  Please do have a play and let me have any feedback. 

Note:  the electric system will be updated soon to also include a task.Box contents
