This week, the class was assigned another resource log entry that was or is suppose to think of a question to research the web on. Unfortunately, I did not go class to class considering or pondering a question in which to research. Although, in fact, I questioned something outside of my school life. I was curious to a related subject in physics that involved force, torque and the wheel.
a) Therefore, in a related manner, I researched how I could save more gas on my car?
b) As a former employee for General Motors, I first went on their supposable "useful" or "helpful" web site that gives tips and suggestions to increase gas millage for the maximum benefit. I did also, used Google.com, to seek the question I had been pondering for sometime now.
c) Searching the web engines, such as Google, I looked specifically for "GM auto fuel mileage" and with that one small phrase, I had plenty of resources to live by.
d) I found out that the variant driving conditions are a major benefactor to the elimination of gas. Moreover, I read that GM is finding ways to increase the productivity of gas in their engines.
e) I also read maximum fuel capacity from other car companies, such as Nissan and Toyota this allowed me to determine how other companies are treating the increase in crude prices.
f) I was curious why most "intelligent" people, comment on American vehicles that are considered "gas-killers"? In comparison, the Import companies have as a bad reputation as the American companies do. Due to the fact that I worked for GM, I am a supporter and I know that our company is developing new engineering ideas to better benefit the consumer. Although, the corporation of these companies would benefit the entirety if they would work with each other scientifically.

I think you found a very interesting question to explore. You thought of something that came from your own experience and that's great.
I spent 30 years of my life living in the Detroit area, so I'm quite familiar with "the big 3." In point f), you ask another question, which is a question that can take you into psychology (why people believe what they do), competitive intelligence (which affects whether companies do/can work together or not), and all sorts of other interesting areas.
Great!
