Can you help this student with a survey about fast food and taxes. Feel free to add additional comments.?

1. What is your age and state of residence (only)?


2. How often do you eat fast food? Why?


3. How often do you use the drive-thru to order your fast food and why?


4. How much automotive idle time do you estimate you use at the drive-thru?


5. How do you currently feel about environmental issues, and do you think the idle emissions from automobiles contribute emissions to the greenhouse effect, if you believe the greenhouse effect is a dilemma?


6. Is the drive-thru a major/minor convienence to your life and why?


7. Would you consider paying a nominal tax for use of the drive- thru each visit, if you knew the nominal tax would be used for state environmental iniatives?


8. Would you be willing to pay a $0.15 service tax for usage of the drive-thru, if the tax funded research for alternative fuel? Why, or why not?


9. What is the maximum amount you would consider for a drive-thru service tax?


10. How do you feel this might affect your lifestyle?


(Thank you from a greatful student)

2. Once, twice a year.


3. Once, twice a year. Time issue.


4. 5 minutes


5. I feel strongly about environmental issues and do think idle emissions from automobiles contribute emissions that add to our overall carbon footprint. It seems that any thought we can generate to contain our footprint would be of benefit.


6. Drive-thru is irrelevant really, since I am anti-fast food.


7. Yes.


8. $0.15 does not seem unreasonable. It seems research is already being done on alternative fuels. I would rather my money be spent on making the use of such alternatives more accessible to moderate and low income families.


9. I think you could slide in on a .15, but anymore than that, you might get too much balk for anything to get passed.


(Especially from the fast-food industry).


10. It wouldn't really affect my lifestyle in the immediate sense, but having alternative fuels used in the near distant future, would definately affect all of our lifestyles, and that of our children and grandchildren.
