Lowell, you should get a GPS :) I imagine trying to map out routes by hand would be a major pain. Lowell, you should get a GPS

I do this for safety more than for gas savings, however. Left turns-- especially on busy roads are extremely dangerous as well as inconvenient.

Maybe not as practical for people, but avoiding idling is a good idea - I wonder when GPS' will be intelligent enough to adjust driving routes intuitively based on this. That’s really incredible.

Is the software going to be available to other companies? What does 28.5 million miles represent as a percentage of their annual mileage. Be great if Google maps picked it up and ran with this...
