What ever happen to autos running on compressed Nat. Gas? Why not on liquified gas until gasoline can catch up with more refineries.

Lots of fleet vehicles and public transportation are running on natural gas.

There are some natural gas stations for autos here and there, but same issue (maybe greater) than the EV charging stations. Lack of infrastructure, especially privately-owned infrastructure.
Municipalities have gas infrastructure and there's power infrastructure for municipal needs, but charging stations and CNC stations would be privately owned (unless we want government getting into that business).
For it to be efficient and plentiful for refills when needed, you've got to have an extensive pipeline network, and much more than we have now. Think powerlines throughout municipalities, you'd need more gas pipelines like that. And depending on who's talking, pipelines could be "evil". (Though people never seem to shut them off from their homes during winter time.)

As others said some fleets run it but it basically requires a government handout to build onsite fill for your trucks. I had an ops manager break down how they justified it. I couldn’t tell you the numbers off the top of my head but even with the government money it required diesel to be high to break even or save money
The beer vendors I use to work with all have it. They also were extremely well connected politically, so you can do the math there.
Logistically it only makes sense when you have the same routes every day
