To whom it may concern:
I am a 19 year old college student currently attending Eckerd College in St. Petersburg, Florida. I am writing to you concerning the fuel efficiencies of your vehicles.
I admire the fact that you, as a company, are chasing the status as the most fuel efficient automobile manufacturer in the world. I think that it is quite a challenge to compete against foreign automakers such as Honda and Toyota, whose vehicle lineup are mostly four-cylinders.
What you have done so far is very impressive. So far three hybrids (assuming the Silverado hybrid makes it to production), vehicles equipped with E85 fuel capabilities, and the creation of Active Fuel Management. I believe that the steps you have taken and the direction you are going is showing much of America, and even the entire world, that American automobiles are not just gas guzzling tanks, but are actually being refined to environmentally friendly vehicles.
My only concern with Chevrolet’s new image is the loss of its performance vehicles. I am personally a Ford enthusiast, but I was recently fortunate enough to have the opportunity to drive a 2008 Z06 and I was awe-struck. I had shivers up my spine after driving the car. That is an excellent automobile, and I hope that Chevrolet does not lose sight of the performance it has built over the past 50 years; and is still able to build cars such as this in the future. I am looking forward to the new Camaro. Keep up the good work in both the fields of fuel efficiencies and performance.

E85 Fuel
To whom it may concern:
I am a 19 year old college student currently attending Eckerd College in St. Petersburg, Florida. I am writing to you concerning your E85 ethanol fuel. I think the fuel is an ingenious invention and can be used to benefit America greatly. I believe that it is a very efficient alternative to regular gasoline. I admire the fact that it does not strain our agricultural production of corn. What impresses me the most is that your fuel contains higher octane than regular fuel, making for better performance.
The only major drawback that I see in your fuel is that it is mainly used in Chevrolet’s vehicles; and some of its vehicles are not always equipped with E85 capabilities. Also for many people in America, they are not located near a station that supplies your fuel, so they can not take advantage of its effects. Once more stations start selling the fuel; it will have a huge impact, more so than it has already. Thank you for formulating this product and making alternative fuel a reality.

Exxon
To whom it may concern:
I am a 19 year old college student currently attending Eckerd College in St. Petersburg, Florida. I am writing to you concerning the impact of rising fuel efficiencies on your corporation. Recently automobile manufacturers have been pushed by the public and the government to make more environmentally friendly and fuel efficient automobiles. Many companies have at least one hybrid in their vehicle lineup, and more are most likely to come. I am curious has to how this will affect your business in the future. There is a very high possibility that in the next fifty years our highways will be covered in hybrids and electric cars. Will these changes liquidate the profits your company has made recently due to our high gas prices? Will your company disappear without the need for gas in automobiles, or will it adapt and invest in alternative fueling, such as electric or hydrogen? Thank you for your time.

30 Min Writing Session
For my project I analyzed the fuel efficiencies of Chevrolet’s automobiles. There are three major aspects that Chevy uses to market its vehicles and make more environmentally friendly cars. Chevy has enacted in its cars the ability to run off of E85 ethanol fuel. This is an alternative fuel that is made from corn. Chevy has also equipped many of its vehicles with its “Active Fuel Management”. AFM allows the engine to shut of half of its cylinders under no load situations. Chevy has also jumped on the bandwagon with Honda and Toyota and created a hybrid. It actual has three different hybrids, the Impala, Tahoe, and Silverado.
For my blog so far, I have posted my final draft and the drafts of my letters. The blog is not too complicated to use, but the editing skills are not great. I cannot get it to indent my paragraphs. For the three organizations to write to, I chose Chevrolet, the makers of E85 fuel, and Exxon. For Chevrolet and the E85 fuel company, I commended them on their inventions and how they are changing auto history. I also pointed out some of their drawbacks and areas I think they should work on. Such as the fact that there are so many cars capable of running E85 fuel, but there are barely any gas stations selling the alternative fuel; so the fuel is not being used to its full potential. I wrote to Exxon asking how they are going to deal with the future of hybrids and alternative fuels and if the company will survive by supplying new alternative fuels such as hydrogen.
