Just one question? Do you save enough on gas to make up for traffic tickets for rolling the stops?
My thoughts exactly when posting the line. I think that changing the definition of a stop sign to "sub 2mph" vs a full stop would save millions of gallons of gas every year. That initial point of inertia has gotta be ugly from an energy use standpoint. Changing it is something that we could do though that does not carry a direct cost.
