The internet is full of information.  Some of it is organized in easy to search data bases.  Today's technology tip is an example of just such a database:

Most of us have cars and most of us are concerned about the environment.  And most, if not all of us, would like to save a few dollars when we fill up our gas tanks.  Here's a couple of websites that can help you determine the most fuel efficient cars that are out there:

First, here's some information about how to calculate the miles per gallon for a car:  http://www.mistupid.com/automotive/mpg.htm

Now here's a website produced by the federal government that contains MPG data for all makes and models that are available in the U.S.

http://www.fueleconomy.gov/

Once you get to the webpage look for the "Compare Side-by-Side" and "Search by Class" options.  You can then select the make and model of your own car so you have a baseline.  Then start checking other vehicles to see what kind of gas mileage they get.  The site also gives you information about greenhouse gasses, hybrid and alternative energy vehicles and ways to improve your gas mileage.

This site is a great example of a searchable online database.

PRACTICE ACTIVITY:  Try using this website sometime today and see what you can learn from it.

TO KEEP ON LEARNING:  If you're looking for more information about fuel economy try searching the internet for:
