Hi,
I'm from Pulteney Grammar School, in Adelaide, South Australia and I'm doing geography this semester. For my major project I've chosen to research fuel efficiency and alternative fuel sources. I need primary sources for my report, and if anyone would like to help me by answering some or all of the questins posed, I would really appreciate it.

To anyone in the fuel industry:
How does your company intend to deal with the growing demand for greener fuel?

Is your company currently, or planning to offer alternative fuel solutions?

Is the green fuel industry affecting your company negatively?

What are future plans for the company, when useable crude oil supplies are depleted?

To anyone in the car manufacturing industry:
Why are v8’s still being produced?

Which motor vehicle provides the most fuel-efficient travel?

How many cars made by your company are being driven?

How many of those cars have a type of alternative fuel system?

Are production methods carbon-neutral?

If not, what methods are employed to be carbon friendly?

Are moves being made to reduce carbon emissions from cars and trucks?
If so, what does this involve?

In your opinion, is it a realistic for all cars being driven to be a hybrid type car, or other alternative fuel sourced car?

If this did occur, what would the effects be on the community
- environmentally?
- socially?
- economically?
What kinds of alternative fuel sources are available to the public?

What can be done to convince the public to turn to green fuel?

To anyone with an environmentally friendly car:
1. What made you decide to purchase an environmentally friendly car?

2. What make and model did you chose, and why?

3. How is your car fuel efficient?

4. Have you noticed a difference between the performance of your current car, and any previous cars?

5. Would you encourage others to purchase this vehicle, or another environmentally friendly car?

6. What are the disadvantages of this car?

7. Is your car reliable?

8. Are you aware of any carbon neutralising methods during production?

To anyone at all:
How many cars do you own?

Are any of those environmentally friendly?

Would you consider driving an electric or alternative fuel sourced car?

What has held you back from purchasing a ‘green car’?

What type of incentives would encourage you to buy one?

How often do you use your car?

Do you use public transport often?

What type of fuel does your car take?

Is your driving style aggressive(high speeds, sudden breaking etc.)?

Thank you so much for your time, I really appreciate it.
