The purpose of this report is to compare the fuel efficiency‚ by cost‚ of three different vehicles using Regular‚ Mid and Premium grade fuel. The vehicles chosen are a 1996 Mitsubishi Mirage‚ 2011 Volkswagen Golf‚ and a 2005 Nissan Xterra. This comparison is estimated by calculating the cost of fuel based on Miles Per Gallon (MPG) for both Highway and City mileage for each vehicle. The MPG for each vehicle is based on information found on the website fueleconomy.gov. The total mileage used is 15

on an array of sources like wind‚ fossil-fuel‚ water‚ solar‚ and more recently biofuels. Of these biofuels‚ which are fuels obtained directly from living plant matter‚ ethanol and biodiesel are the most commonly used. These two sources are typically used to fuel cars‚ trucks‚ aircraft‚ and small-engine machines. Biofuels have garnered much attention because they are derived from renewable resources like corn and soybeans rather than non-renewable fossil fuels. The main advantage to biofuels has always
