Speed = 50 miles /hr Total distance =360 miles Time of journey =7 hr 12 min Gasoline used = 10 gallons Mileage=36 miles /gallon of gasoline

Speed =60 miles/hr Total distance =360 miles Time of journey =6hrs Gasoline consumption=12 gallons Mileage=30 miles /gallon of gasoline

Speed=72miles/hr Time of journey=5 hrs Total distance=360 Gasoline consumption=15 gallon Mileage=24miles/gallon of gasoline

S1=50 miles/hr; S2= 60 miles/hrds=S2-S1=10 miles /hr T1=7.2 hr ; T2=6 hr

dt=T1-T2=1.2 hr G1 (gasoline consumption in case 1)=10

gallon =10gallon ; G2(gasoline consumption in case 2 )=12

dg=G2-G1=2 gallons

S1=50 miles/hr; S3=72miles/hr; ds= S3-S1=22 miles/h

T1=7.2 hrs;T3=5hr ;ds=T1-T3=2.2 G1=12 gallons ;G3=15; dg=G3-G1=3 gallons

In recent times there we have seen great rise in price and consumption of gasoline .

Various factors which influenced price and consumption of gasoline are listed hereafter:-

High demand and less supply Rapid industrialization High energy demand

Various factors which demands a substitute for gasoline are :-

High price Non-renewable source of energy Environmental concerns Future demand

Various factors which influences the price of gasoline are :-

High demand less supply Race to modernization Industrialization Government taxes

Gasoline is natural petroleum product and it can not be replaced .

High consumption rate of it has lead to great depletion in it reserves

It takes centuries to replenish those reserves

Use of gasoline causes a serious effect on environment

With the rapid increase in pollution level in last century search for eco friendly substitute started

Combustion of it release harmful gases in the atmosphere

The rate at which gasoline is consumed now , it will last for few more centuries .

Future will be more energy demanding then current time

High development speed need great boost of energy .

Various substitutes available are :- Diesel CNG(compressed natural gas ) LPG(liquefied petroleum gas ) hydro Electricity Biodiesel Hydrogen

gasoline contains about 34.6 mega joules per liter while diesel contains 38.MJ/l . This gives higher power to diesel .

Also prices of diesel are comparatively lesser then gasoline’s

diesel is not only cheaper then gasoline it is also energy efficient.

It cost very much less then petrol Its environment friendly It has great future aspects it gives better mileage than gasoline Easily available

It is renewable source of energy Environment friendly Energy can be generated in bulk Can be harnessed to great extent Cost effective and efficient energy source

They are future fuels as they are not that much developed in the market

They are promising products as they have high calorific value and high efficiency

And they are environment friendly Hydrogen will not produce even bit of

pollution

Prices of gasoline have seen great rise in last decade .

With the rise in prices of gasoline, people started shifting toward substitutes.

Like CNG and LPG available in metro cities Diesel vehicles are gaining popularity thus

reducing gasoline consumption

Government initiative to reduce pollution

Economic reasons :- Supply and demand imbalance Black marketing Rapid growth of population Taxation Deficit financing

Future scope can be studied under influence of various factors :-

Rising Price Demand in the market Substitute available Government policies

Ever increasing prices of gasoline indicates bad future for gasoline

Hiked prices of gasoline have directed consumers to other alternatives

High prices have given chance to other cheap and better alternatives

Hiked prices have resulted in fall in consumption pattern

Demand of energy will always be the market as it is key for development but it doesn’t ensure good future for gasoline

Future demand for energy could be fixed with other source of energy

But certainly there will be demand for gasoline

Availability of substitutes pose a great threat to future of gasoline

Trend of shifting to substitutes is started Substitutes available have many strong

points over gasoline It will take time for substitutes to completely

replace it from market

Trend Government policies are also showing are also resulting in downfall of gasoline consumption

Increase taxes and customs policies of use of substitute like CNG ,BIO

GAS etc Introduction electric transportation systems

There is downward trend in gasoline consumption

Substitutes are giving tough competition to gasoline

Awareness among people have resulted in shift towards eco friend and high performance fuels

Gasoline will be replaced not in near future but it will be certainly replaced in few decades
