I know at the one bad light I have to go thru to get to work is right at 1 minute in the end how much do you plan on saving by shutting down at a light, you can do it if you want but im gonna be running at the light listening to the sweet purr of my 5.7 liter.

I believe thinking like that helps to create problems like 9/11...or dependance on foreign oil helps pay for osama's wealth, etc.
I can only afford 1 vehicle, and I have to tow, so it has to be a truck. If every person driving in this country could save 2mpg, the overall savings would be huge! Now, not everyone will do it, but does that mean we should all say "F#@k it"???
