Title: Accelerating Demand for Fuel
Discipline: Economics, Business, Environmental Science
 
It is time to review the driving forces of a market economy. As motorists and other petroleum product consumers face increased prices, The Post in the Oil Shock series reports on the supply and demand for oil, alternative sources of fuel and the latest technology for oil recovery. In this guide, discussion questions, a crossword puzzle, a supply and demand activity and online resources are provided. The Washington Post resources to use with the suggested activities include a Tom Toles editorial cartoon, charts and graphs, guest commentary, and six articles.
