=Fuel Economy- Fuel Efficiency= Ford Mustang vs. a Ford pick-up truck A ford mustang would have better mpg because it is lighter weight than a ford truck. The reason the size and weight effects the mpg is because the heavier the vehicle is the harder the engine has to work to move the vehicle which means there is more gas used.

=Oil is more than energy=

Oil production/distribute and political and economic issues are related because in order to either hae the production of oil or distribute it iw would cost money which has to do with the economy and it would also have to deal with pollitical issues because people are arguing over how the money in the US should be spent and on what.
 * 1) spending to much money in imports and depending to much on other countries for oil
 * 2) we get to much oil from unstable or dangerous and anti-American countries
 * 3) burning the oil is causes changes in the climate
 * 4) need to be more dependent and not depend so much on the unstable and dangerous countries that can effect our national security
 * 5) we need to put our money towards helping our countries and advancing in more clean ways for energy not sending our money overseas for oil

I think that America needs to start depending less on foreign countries for our own safety and our own national security. I also think it would be a good idea to put more money towards research for other fuel possibilities because some day we will run out of oil and gas and it would be better to have a head start now and already start having other ways to travel beside gas.

=Rubber Cement=

Invented by Paul Van Cleef in the early 1900's. He invented it for use on the Van Cleef Brother's factory. Made from latex polymers, which can be found in any 10% of any flowering plant and is added to the acetone, ketone and other solvents found in the petroleum, and acetone, the simplest ketone and is a flammable liquid, and other solvents, can be liquid or gas and they dissolve a liquid or gas, mixed in with it. Originally there was benzene in it till they discovered than benzene was the cause of many cancer so they switched to n-hexane and n-heptane. Breathing in large amounts of rubber cement and or swallowing it can extremely dangerous especially when it comes to a bay or small child. People used to use rubber cement for scrapbooks because if you put rubber cement only the the picture you can remove the picture and move it to a different place easily and when it drys on the paper or picture you can just rub it off. They had stop using rubber cement because they found that it can ruin some pictures because of the acidity of the glue.Rubber cement can satin clothing or furniture but if you use dry cleaning solvent and than use put warm water on it with a sponge plus some detergent it will come off after wards all you have to do is let it dry out.

=Rough Draft For School Essay=

In school here is a lot of energy being used and a lot of the money is going towards paying for the energy use and food. For example there are a lot of lights on when they don't need to be on places like the cafeteria where there is 120 lights and they are all on use a lot of energy costing more money. Some of the money also goes towards the buses to though for transportation for the students. If the school would switch to a four-day week then they would save money not only for bus transportation but also for energy and things the school needs. Out in Colorado almost all of the schools are going to a four-day week and they have saved tens of thousands of dollars on just one year on bus transportation alone. If they don’t go to a four-day week then they can also get sensor for the lights so when no one is in a room the lights will automatically go out and it would save energy and money to pay for because there are always some people who forget to turn out the lights in there room. I think the four-day week would be best because it would not save only money on bus transportation but it would also save money from all the energy that is not used that day which in the end could add up to be quite a bit of money saved.
