Individual White Paper Proposal, Rebecca Longster, 2/20/08, ymurata

Hi, everyone.
My individual proposal is about recent price increase of Fuel. It seems the auto gas price has gone up more than double of its of couple years ago. Because most of us own car and somewhat related to fuel consumptiing activity, I believe this problem is more relevant to everyone. Not only the auto gas price, but also recent fuel price increase affects a lot of things in our daily lives, such as heating expenses and air ticket price, and so on. Especially, I am majoring aviation management and pursuing a career in aviation industry, so this topic is very considerable. However, this topic can be considerable to everyone, because we are consuming fuel in any ways in our daily lives.
I think we can work to find solutions for this problem.

Here are some useful information that I find for this topic
