English 1301 October 30, 2012 Mustang Vs. Camaro In cars people usually tend to try and pick the most economical one. When you’re young and a male, we tend to want fast cars that can race but most don’t realize that they can still choose one with good gas prices. A good comparison, or example, to show us the truth in this, would be to compare two types of cars like the Mustang and the Camaro. The first comparison is the Mustang and the Camaros gas prices. The mustang shows to use 19 miles per gallon when riding around in the city, 31 out in the highway and the combination of the two is 22 miles per gallon and in addition the cost of fuel per year is $2450.

Cities with better bikeways around transit situations are a good target market for our folding bicycles. Berlin has a highly developed cycle lane system and there are an estimated 710 bicycles per 1000 inhabitants.

Most of the luxury interior will be similar to previous Corvettes. Not only will the looks of the car attract a younger crowd but the competitive price will also be a major factor. We have trimmed some of the expensive engine parts to make the engine more meat and potatoes instead of having all of these crazy useless engine parts that drive up the price. The engine will sound the exact same and there will be no noticeable difference for the every day driver and it will be a lot more affordable. The affordable price is a huge reason why the 2014 Corvette will be a top seller.
NHTSA estimates that in 2010, helmet use saved the lives of 1,544 motorcyclists, and an additional 709 lives might have been saved if all motorcyclists had worn helmets (NHTSA, unpublished data, 2012). With motorcycle ownership at an all-time high (8.2 million registered motorcycles in 2010, compared with 4.3 million in 2000), motorcycle-related deaths and their associated costs are expected to remain at high levels unless more effective protective measures are implemented .

Coal, oil, and natural gas are the primary non-renewable energy sources being utilized in the United States today. These resources, also known as fossil fuels, are damaging the natural environment that we live in carrying great consequence. According to Klare (2010) “It may not seem as if we operate under such a philosophy today, but we do—one that extols growth over all other considerations, that privileges existing fuels over
