Fuel Efficiency on Transportation

During the past couple of weeks, I have discover great things that happen every day in my live, with out me realizing. For example, how much gas I spend every day coming to school. Something that really shocked me was to find out that costs more for my family to drive me in the Mini Cooper, rather than in the big Hummer of my father. It was shocking to know that we where actually paying more, and we thought we where saving money. Definitely, having my dream car (Audi R8 Spider) will be very expensive, but they well say, "if you have the money to buy the car, you have the money for the gas..." By the other side, having Fuel Efficient Cars will reduce the expenses of my family every year, however they aren't just neither my families or my taste in cars. Actually doing this project is really going to help me in less than 4 months. In less than 4 months, I will turn 16 and I made a deal with my father that states, if I didn't consume any alcohol or drugs when I have reach the age of 16, he will give me a car. Know we can take an inform decision about which car will help us, by saving money in fuel.

Seeing the BP oil spill really caused a great impact at me. So many marine live was lost due to the contamination, and it will take more than 100 years to clean the Gulf of Mexico. I guess I don't think about this when I get in my car, but I think definitely I should because this is what happens due to our fuel addiction.
