Article: Think about how you want the main wrist piece of your web shooters to look. Your wrist piece might be a rectangle, hexagon, oval, or a more complex shape. Once you’ve decided on a design, sketch it out on a blank sheet of paper.  No matter what shape you choose to make your outline, it should be about the same length of your palm and no wider than your wrist. Take inspiration from your favorite style of web shooters from the comics, or just come with your own original design. Sketch your web shooters in pencil so you can make changes easily if needed. Guide your scissors along the lines you just drew, cutting slowly and carefully to avoid mistakes. When you’re done, you’ll have a handy template that you can use to recreate your design with your crafting materials. You can use the same template if you decided to make a second web shooter prop later on. Place the design you just cut out in the center of the sheet of foam and run your pencil lightly around the edges. Then, remove the paper and cut along the pencil lines to create the same shape out of foam. Repeat the process with a second piece of foam to make the wrist piece for your opposite hand.  You can find craft foam at any craft store, or in the arts and crafts aisle of most major grocery stores and super centers. If possible, use gray or black foam. If you’re unable to find foam in one of these colors, you can always paint it later. You may have trouble getting your scissors through the thick foam. If you encounter a lot of resistance, consider using a utility knife instead. Just be sure to ask your parents before you do! The easiest way to do this is to draw a single rectangle on a piece of paper, then cut out the shape and use it as a template for your foam pieces. The foam rectangles will serve as the wrist straps for your web shooters, so make as many as you need to fit around both wrists comfortably. If you’re not sure how many rectangles to cut, measure your wrist in centimeters and divide the number you get by 2. This will tell you exactly how many you need for each web shooter. Brush one side of each piece with a coat of acrylic craft paint and allow them to dry for 5-10 minutes. Then, flip over the pieces and paint the opposite side.  In the newer comics and movies, Spider-Man’s web shooters are almost always gray or black. However, you can also add a few accents in red or another color, if you like.  Feel free to customize your web shooters however you want. It’s your project, so have fun and use your imagination! Lay out your foam pieces side-by-side on your work surface the way they’ll look when the finished web shooters are on your wrists. Squeeze a line of hot glue onto the inside edge of one of the end pieces, then press it to the outside edge of the piece next to it. Keep gluing like this all the way down the line, then let the glue dry for about 5 minutes.  Each time you glue 2 pieces, clamp them together for 10-20 seconds to make sure the glue dries securely. Ask a parent or older siblings for help if you’ve never worked with hot glue before. Cut 2 soft strips and 2 rough strip to a length of 3 centimetres (1.2 in) each to match the length of the foam pieces. Dab 2-3 dots of hot glue onto the back of each strip. Press a strip to the inner face of one of the end pieces and the stick the other to the outer face of the piece on the opposite end. Do the same for second web shooter.  You should also be able to find Velcro at your local craft store or super center. Make sure you get the uncut kind so you can trim it to the correct length yourself. Make sure the Velcro pieces are facing the opposite direction so your web shooters will fasten properly. Adding Velcro will make it possible to put on and take off your web shooters whenever you want. This piece will be shaped like a thin rectangle with a circle at one end. Measure the rectangle so that it’s just long enough to reach from the wrist strap of your web shooter to your palm. Once you’ve cut out the pieces, glue one to the back of each wrist piece.  You can make your trigger piece black like the rest of your web shooters or paint it a contrasting color, like silver. If your trigger piece doesn’t lay across your palm the way it’s supposed to, glue a piece of metal wire to the backside. This will allow you to bend it into a shape that will better fit your hand. Take your scissors and snip two 1 in (2.5 cm) pieces from the end of a plastic drinking straw. Then, cut a rectangular notch at the top of the foam on both of your web shooters just wide enough to fit the straws into. Dab the bottom edge of the straws with glue and slip them inside the notches. Adding a webbing nozzle to your web shooters is optional, but it will give them a more realistic, functional look.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Outline the basic shape of your web shooters on a piece of paper. Cut out your design to make a template. Use your template to cut 2 identical wrist pieces out of 5mm craft foam. Cut 12-16 3 cm (1.2 in) x 2 cm (0.79 in) rectangles out of 5mm craft foam. Paint your foam pieces if you want them to be a different color. Glue your foam pieces together with the wrist pieces in the center. Attach Velcro to the ends of your completed wrist straps. Cut out 2 keyhole-shaped pieces of 3mm foam for the trigger pieces. Glue a straw to each wrist piece to make a nozzle for the webbing.

For example, stopping and starting the car a lot uses much more gas than driving at a constant pace. This is why highway consumption is always less than city consumption.  Cruise control can help you get better fuel consumption. Fuel consumption gets worse the faster you drive. Since AC uses gasoline, using it will diminish your fuel consumption. To get a more accurate picture of your car's fuel consumption, you need to have more data. By driving for longer and averaging your fuel consumption you eliminate "glitches" in your data. Say, for example, that you calculated your fuel consumption one day as you drove up into the mountains. Because climbing uphill takes more fuel, your fuel consumption would look much lower than it normally is. Set your odometer to zero and don't reset it after you get a tank of gas. If you don't have an odometer, record how many miles are on your car with a full tank of gas. To get a more accurate measure of fuel consumption, you need to know how much gas you are using. Each time you fill up, write down the number of gallons you purchase and save it. Do not reset your trip odometer as you drive. Make sure your fill up your car 3-4 times for an accurate reading. Try to do this during a month of average driving, as big trips or unexpected traffic will change your fuel consumption. You do not need to fill your car all the way up each time. As long as you record the number of gallons you put in you can calculate fuel consumption. When you are ready to calculate your fuel consumption, top your car off and record the number of gallons you put in. This represents the total gas used over this period of time. If I bought three tanks of gas, 12 gallons, 3 gallons, and 10 gallons, then my total gas usage would be 25 gallons. Use your trip odometer to see how many miles you traveled total, then divide this by gallons to get your average fuel consumption. While this is the exact number of miles per gallon during your test period, it is a good estimate for your car's average fuel consumption. For example, if you used 25 gallons of gas, and drove 500 miles during that time, then your average fuel consumption would be 20 miles per gallon (500 miles / 25 gallons = 20 mpg). By law, car makers must post the average fuel consumption for cars. However, these are only estimates, and they are frequently on the high end. You can look up your car's fuel consumption online through this US Department of Energy website, but to find your car's actual miles per gallon you'll have to calculate it yourself. If your calculation is drastically different from the suggest average, you may need to bring your car to a mechanic.

One-sentence summary --
Remember that fuel consumption changes based on your driving. Record multiple tanks of gas in a row to find your average fuel consumption. Set your trip odometer to zero with a full tank of gas. Record how many gallons of gas you purchase each time you fill up. Drive for normally for several weeks. Fill up your tank fully after 2-3 weeks. Add up the number of gallons you bought. Divide total miles by total gallons. Know that your car's advertised mileage is often overestimated.
