Personal Energy Use
For many college students, a car and a computer are essentials of life. Cars are also one of our most important single uses of energy, so differences in efficiency can greatly affect your energy consumption (and energy costs). This exercise asks you to modify an Excel spreadsheet in order to evaluate the impact of vehicle efficiency on energy use.
Suppose you were to buy a very efficient car, such as the Honda Insight, rather than a sport utility vehicle, such as a Ford Excursion. How much energy would that save, and how long could you run your computer with that energy? Go to Connect to find a spreadsheet that explores these questions, and to answer questions about personal energy use.
