I am going to try and transfer into MIT next school year and I need to do some research papers in order to hopefully get in. Since my major in engineering, and I plan on speciallizing on cars, I am going to do some experiments.

Here is what I have so far;
- Speed vs MPG (55, 65, and 75 mph)
- Aero Drag from Wheel Spoke Design (Using university wind tunnel)
- Tire PSI vs MPG (24, 34, 44 psi)
- Weight vs MPG (At constant speed i.e. highway driving)

The ones yall have provided so far;
- "Effects of gasohol (gas with 10% ethanol) vs. reg. gasoline in terms of which gets better fuel economy and which emits more green house gases every 1000 miles"
- "Fuel Temperature vs. MPG"

What else would yall like to see now that I am at it?
